Fusion done right 🍣
@akiro.us This is the world’s first Nikkei handroll bar, which combines flavors and techniques from Japan and Peru, leading to unique flavor combinations beyond what you might find at a traditional handroll bar.
Some of my favorite bites:
- Salmon and hamachi sashimi: some of the thiccest sashimi you’ll ever see, so refreshing and crisp 😮💨
- Shrimp tempura: similar to a rock shrimp and this one is up there with the best
- Toro caviar nigiri: your classic luxurious but with the bone marrow drippings it was next level 🔥
- Salmon truffle nigiri: I could not get enough of this so ordered multiple, the foie gras dollop makes it
- Short rib handroll: not something you usually see and had a nice touch of sweetness
- Matcha tres leches: exactly as good as it sounds, I’m a sucker for tres leches
@beli_eats rating: 8.8/10 so much good stuff
