They believe that understanding and faithfully following the inherent umami of each ingredient is essential to deliver flavours deeply rooted in tradition.
We had the pleasure to visit Sushi Kita for dinner on their first week of opening. Sampled a wonderful omakase menu that start with appetizer, followed by chawanmushi, 8 kinds of sushi, miso soup and dessert. A taste of surprise right from the start.
Love the appetizer – prepared using fresh edamame that taste so different from the frozen ones; and unagi mix with cucumber, seaweed, soy sauce.
Chawanmushi, a classic Japanese steamed egg custard that is so jiggly smooth, melt-in-mouth, setting the perfect tone for the courses to come.
Mehikari, a deep sea fish which is tiny and troublesome to prepare. It is said to be popular in Japan, available mostly in sushi restaurants.

After our omakase dinner at Sushi Kita, we wing by Hanareya Suisan, which is also within the SEIBU department store. They have a great selection of seafood imported directly from Japan, and you can either pick up some ready-to-eat Japanese delicacies or choose your own fresh seafood if you’re planning to cook at home. I ended up grabbing a few items for a later meal, definitely will return for more!
