I'm throwing it back to Japan and one of the last meals I had in Tokyo which was at this restaurant called Sushi Tokyo Ten located in the NEWoMan department center in Shinjuku, where we had our final omakase experience. For $70, we had about 20 different items to try in a variety of items from sashimi, to soup, to chicken kabobs. This was one of the best omakase meals I've had and definitely the best Uni i've ever had. I'll let the photos speak for themselves but if you want a quality, finer dining experience, check this place out!
1) Nigiri Plate 1 (If anyone can tell what this cut of fish is please let me know!)
2) Wakame Seaweed Salad
3) Mackerel Sashimi Plate
4) Close up of mackerel
5) Cooked Abalone
6) 2nd Nigir platter with halibut and something else (sorry I forgot >.<)
7) Shirasu - little tiny fish popular from Kamakura!
8) 3rd Nigiri Plate. One seared and one seasoned.
9) Pickled Daikon(radish) and Mentaiko (spicy salted cod roe)
10) Ebi Nigiri (shrimp)
11) Cooked Cuttlefish
12) Chicken Yakitori with Leeks
13) Tuna Nigiri Sampler with Maguro and Toro
14) Seasoned Greens
15) Best looking Uni (sea urchin) Plate
16) Hokkaido Uni on the left, dark. Aomori Uni on the right, light. The Hokkaido Uni was incredibly sweet, creamy, and the best uni I've ever had.
17) Ika (squid) and Ikura (salmon roe) Taster
18) Salmon and White Onion Hand Roll - This combo was amazing and the onions didn't have too much of a bite and paired really well with the chopped tuna.
19) Tamago (sweetened egg) and Anago (sea eel).
20) Asari (clam) soup broth with the tiniest clams ever.
21) Kanpyo (rehydrated gourds) with rice in a seaweed wrap to end the meal.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures of this mouthwatering Omakase spread! Shinjuku is filled with amazing food and restaurants and the restaurants in and around the department stores are usually fairly good, so you can almost never go wrong!
Which dish number is your favorite?
