From the new Koji Sushi Bar that had recently opened its doors at Raffles City Shopping Centre, replacing the lesser known Cedele outlet located at Level 3 of the mall.

Available exclusively at this outlet and only limited to 20 portions a day, the Tokubetsu Don features premium cuts of sashimi, Nagaimo Tororo (Japanese Mountain Yam paste), and a wobbly egg yolk sitting atop a bed of short-grain rice. Sliced in pretty chunky portions, the sashimi carried a good bite; there were enough sashimi to go along with the serving of rice beneath, and the sashimi slices being sized appropriately to ensure one could taste the freshness and flavours of the fish with a good portion of the rice beneath. While all the sashimi slices were amazingly fresh, the Uni was the most memorable; none of that fishy, funky flavour — just sweet, buttery and smooth. The Nagaimo Tororo sits beneath the egg yolk; helps to provide some moisture to the bowl whilst giving a slight sweetness and earthiness — mix in with the egg yolk for a silkier touch. The price tag of $29.00++ may not be affordable for all, but certainly a bowl that was pretty much a steal considering the addition of Uni and the overall quality; comes with salad and soup on the side as well.
