Limited to only 5 servings for lunch each day, Suigei's Chirashi Sushi Set is of the delicate tasting type.
Assorted fresh seafood, which changes according to the season, are cut into neat little pieces and strewn over a bed of sushi rice. Mixed in there are a few slices of Japanese cucumber, lotus root and chopped up pickled radish - they never overwhelm the raw seafood due to their small quantities. As expected, only fresh wasabi is included.
The set meal is presented on a tray with a small cup of miso soup that contains a bit of Japanese yam (you'll need to stir before sipping), pickles and a freshly fried crab croquette (I'm pretty sure this changes all the time).
On the day of my visit, dessert was a choice of either ginger soya milk pudding with kinako or soya milk pudding with matcha cream. I went for the former and it pretty much blew my mind. Actually, I suspect the latter would have done the same.
Suigei is a sake bar by the same owner of Ginza Sushi Ichi right next door. The space is intimate and even at lunchtime, it has a quiet, rather formal vibe with conversations conducted at a low volume.
