Revisiting Sakari Sushi

Sakari Sushi, Orchid Hotel, Tras Link

It's been almost a decade since we were first/last at Sakari Sushi. This was again lunch.

Sakari Sushi, green tea

Ordered the green tea iced because the weather was blistering. These tasted more diluted than they looked. $3 a cup lightly murky green iced water?

Sakari Sushi, salad

Lunch came with salad with goma dressing. I kinda liked this for some reasons. Maybe it's because it's well tossed and chilled.

Sakari Sushi, chawanmushi

Chawanmushi was like half filled. Or half empty depending on your perspective. Only kamaboko and some mushrooms. Dashi was weak.

Sakari Sushi, barachirashi

I have the impression that their barachirashi felt more premium in the past. That's just an impression. Still tasted nice though with the finely diced seafood. Portion felt small.

Sakari Sushi, mini aburi engawa kaisen don

Another option for lunch was their mini donburi which included both aburi engawa don and a kaisen don. I thought this felt more satisfying compared to the barachirashi this time round.

Sakari Sushi, mini aburi engawa don

The aburi engawa bowl was sublime. Didn't expect to find bits of chopped squid in it. This was smokey, melty with the fat of the fin over the rice and well salted. Nice. 👍🏼

Sakari Sushi, mini kaisen don

The other mini bowl was a small kaisen don. Wasabi's grated. Not bad - had a cleaner taste compared to the engawa.
