It has been some time since we had visited Tsukiji Kaisen Don at Holland Village Shopping Centre — these folks had recently opened their second Tsukiji Kaisen Don location at Fortune Centre. Located at Level 4 of the building, these folks can be found right beside HAO LAI WEI 好来味 (a store specialising in fish soup) — for those whom are not aware, Tsukiji Kaisen Don is a concept by the same folks whom run Chirashizushi Shou; they also run Takumi Sakabar also at Holland Village Shopping Centre; those whom have been following the happenings of the local F&B scene for a longer duration of time would probably also recall how the Chirashizushi Shou was by the same folks behind the now-defunct Sumo-Ya previously at Nankin Row. It does seem that there are some slight differences in the menu offered at Tsukiji Kaisen Don’s Fortune Centre outlet as compared to what was being offered at their Holland Village Shopping Centre when they had first launched — the menu consists of categories dedicated to Kaisen Don, Chirashj Don, Makimono, Sashimi, Ramen & Don and Appetisers.
The Caramelised Salmon Maki is an item that is listed in the Makimono section of the menu at Tsukiji Kaisen Don. Though the menu does not describe the elements included in the dish, it can be observed that the Caramelised Salmon Maki does feature elements such as sushi rice, salmon sashimi, Tamagoyaki, Nori, cucumber and surimi — it also does come with a drizzle of mayonnaise over the top as well. Picking up a piece of the Caramelised Salmon Maki, we did find that the Maki here was packed a little loosely — it does seem to feel like it would fall apart rather easily if one applied slightly more pressure on the chopsticks to pick them up. The elements of cucumber, surimi and Tamagoyaki featured within the Caramelised Salmon Maki does give a little bit of a crunch, springy bite and a slight hint of eggy sweetness within, while the sushi rice does come with a subtle hint of sweetness whilst the consistency of it was sufficiently sticky — the salmon sashimi over the top was also pretty fresh as well. What was more notable for us was the sugary crust that was flame-torched over the salmon sashimi — this does carry a hint of caramel-like sweetness and a crisp crunch that provided a variance of texture that kept the item rather unique to its own.
