This bombshell of a maki ($16.80) defined shiok for me. Stuffed with unagi and avocado, drenched with a creamy mayo sauce and then topped with fatty, smoky aburi-ed salmon, this was an explosion in my mouth. It was rich, decadent and indulgent, all the synonyms of shiok.

The magic that tied it all together was that sauce which enhanced the richness of the maki. The tobikko added a crunch and an additional layer of saltiness. My dining partner and I practically licked the plate clean.

The only downside was the monotony of the maki's mouthfeel. It was creamy and rich all the way through, with only the tobikko to provide variety in texture. However, still a must-try for those who love sushi.
