If this resplendent platter of sashimi is not enticing, one must really detest raw food. That is definitely the exact opposite description of my family as we love our sashimi. Of this beauty, my favourite out of the lot was the smooth Uni here that had a pleasant, even subtly sweet, aftertaste; warrant this was the first time I had Uni. Next, while the usual fatty tuna, yellowtail were all fresh I didn’t find them the best I’ve had.

Overall, I still found fish/ seafood produce the strong suit of Ishonomaki, evident even in the Aburi fish or Unagi we had in our makis. My grilled yakitori and pork belly was slightly tough but still chunky and tasty, while the foie gras in our maki was stodgy compared to what I was familiar with.

If I were to return, it would be for their strong suit both raw and cooked, also selected makis and that means skipping the udon and porridge we tried.
