I’m a total sushi rookie but I’ve taken the plunge and headed over to Sushi Zushi!
Sushi Zushi is an open-concept sushi counter that lets you watch your food being prepared right in front of you (perfect for admin who is super nosy). It’s basically like a delicious dinner and a sushi show rolled into one!
As a newbie, I followed the chef’s recommendations to kick things off.
The Otoro Fatty Tuna Sashimi (S$12) was my favourite, practically melting in my mouth. The Chutoro Medium Fatty Tuna Sashimi (S$9) was a solid runner-up, with just the right balance of richness. While Sake Salmon Sashimi (S$2) was a classic.
Each came with a touch of wasabi (admin isn’t exactly the biggest fan) which worked beautifully with the profile of the sushi.
Next, the Aburi Salmon Sushi (S$4) was a showstopper. Lightly seared with a sweet sauce, it had this smoky, caramelised richness that I couldn’t get enough of.
I tried the Crab Mayo (S$6) which had snow crab mixed with creamy mayo. It wasn’t life-changing but still worth a shot if you love mayo-based sushi.
With 19 handroll options, I was spoilt for choices.
The Ebi Handroll (S$4) was a surprising favourite. The deep-fried ebi paired with mayo, fish roe, and spring onion was an explosion of flavour in every bite. Easily one of my highlights of the night.
Wagyu Beef Handroll (S$9) was a wildcard. It came with a quail egg for dipping, and I had fun mixing the egg. It wasn’t my favourite but was a unique experience.
And, of course, I had to get Chawanmushi (S$3.50). It was light and hiding a chewy mochi surprise in the airy bed of goodness.
I finished the meal with Goma Ice Cream Black Sesame Ice Cream (S$3.80), a thick, rich, and unapologetically sesame-y dessert. If you’re into bold flavours, this dessert will be your newest obsession.
The rice deserves its own spotlight. Hand-beaten twice daily with red vinegar and made using Hokkaido Sansanmaru rice, it’s the perfect foundation for every bite.
To celebrate their opening, Sushi Zushi is running a S$1.50 promotion on their sashimi sushi!
Plus, if you spend S$50 or more to get a spin on their Gachapon machine to win prizes like DJI Mini Drone, iPhone, and more. This is available until stock runs out!
So, are you ready to roll down to Funan?
