What is the price like now for this omakase?<br /><br />I've only had Canadian sea urchin once (sadly not fully defrosted) and it was like a thick steak. In the USA, Santa Barbara uni is the best, and East Coast (Maine) is somewhat similar to Hokkaido but not as delicious (but decent nonetheless).<br /><br />For a supposed branch of Ginza Kyubey, I'm surprised they did a variation of uni in nigiri form above a seaweed, instead of standard gunkan maki (like your negi-toro) since the gunkan maki was invented at Kyubey. <br /><br />Seems like they decorated some nigiri a tad bit too much. Is that some dashi shoyu spread on the hiramasa (noticed some dark looking liquid on top?) For katsuo, I prefer a very thin slice of garlic if salt rubbed and seared (tattaki), and if early season katsuo and really fresh, nothing at all.<br /><br />I don't mind nama shirasu or nama shiraou (although prefer them not swimming) in gunkan maki or steamed old school style then pressed into nigiri...but the live bait in a wine glass is just too crazy.Beef No Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17255895629727111344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789596779201018509.post-88447446657242171962011-02-26T09:00:02.732-08:002011-02-26T09:00:02.732-08:00Dear Cooking Gallery,
Yes I guess with Hong Kong ...Dear Cooking Gallery,<br /><br />Yes I guess with Hong Kong being of close proximity to Japan, we do get some good chefs and fishes over! Having said that, nothing beats Japan itself, and still, I cannot come up with a shop which is close to full marks here either! I heard London is pretty good with places like Shiori and a few new up and coming ones though! <br /><br />As for Germany, there are a few starred restaurants which I'd really love to visit! Hope to go there 1 day. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951478222064972637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789596779201018509.post-39446848507691693442011-02-26T08:17:40.144-08:002011-02-26T08:17:40.144-08:00The sushi all look beautiful!

It's very hard to find authentic sushi in Germany, and if I could it's normally extremely expensive...:(Cooking Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668185205773012090noreply@blogger.com
