Overall, having sushi at Sushiro reminds me of those days as a student and having sushi at Sakae sushi; affordable sushi for all with basic quality sushi.
Sushiro had a cold option on their menu though, which I was curious about. It was kinda like hiyayakko from a texture perspective, but with a savory seafood taste that came through more cleanly than in the hot version. I might actually order this again.
Food at Sushiro features classic Japanese cuisine and modern Japanese Fusion cuisine, with a focus on zushi / sushi.
The sashimi was really fresh and the signature mix maki quite tasty and rich in flavours. Signature #1 consisted of tempura prawn, egg, cucumber, avocado topped with salmon roe and bonito flakes, and was pleasantly sweet due to the sweet takoyaki-like sauce, and signature #2 spicy tempura prawn, egg, cucumber, avocado topped with awanori furikake, and was a bit more creamy and savoury-spicy from the mentaiko-like sauce.
I had never heard of these guys before, but we ordered lunch from them today (321 Alexandra Road #02-04, 9366-8199). This bara chirashi wasn't anything to go nuts over either. Yet it was edible enough for me to eat quickly without feeling guilty about it.
Each and every slice of sashimi brings its own unique element to the bowl and despite that, the smorgasbord of vibrant flavours and textures still manage to come together to create a gastronomical wonder that’ll leave a lasting impression.
Here at Sushi Jiro, they treat it simply with minimal seasoning, using only salt and the garlic to flavour the beef.
