June Visit to Sushi Karashima.The appetizers are simple yet original, and the deliciousness of the sushi is unparalleled at this restaurant.~ Appetizers ~◯ Steamed Sea Bream Chawanmushi A chawanmushi made solely from sea bream broth. Its clean umami and gentle flavor make it a wonderful start to the meal.◯ Katsuo-bushi TKG A classic dish featuring freshly cooked rice topped with freshly shaved bonito flakes. The umami and saltiness of the bonito combined with the richness of the egg yolk create an irresistible rice dish. I could eat more of this! ◯ Soft Roe of Isaki Gently cooked soft roe from Isaki. This was my first time trying this ingredient. Its refined richness spreads in the mouth without any off-flavors, leaving a refreshing and beautiful aftertaste.◯ Isaki from Nagasaki, Goto Islands The skin is grilled over charcoal, giving it a crispy texture. The grated Japanese radish on top adds a refreshing touch, and with each bite, the umami of the Isaki is elegantly complemented by the radish.◯ Silken Mozuku ◯ Blanched Local Octopus This dish features the head and legs of the octopus tossed in sesame oil. You can enjoy the different textures and sweetness of the octopus parts, and the sesame oil enhances the sweetness even more.◯ Sashimi of Yazu The Yazus sashimi is seasoned with soy sauce and topped with freshly roasted sesame and green onions. The beautiful umami of the Yazus, combined with the nutty aroma of sesame and the refreshing flavor of green onions, creates a harmonious and delicious experience.◯ Mako of Isaki A signature dish from Karashima, this mako series is prepared using colatura, a type of fish sauce, giving it a flavor reminiscent of fresh mentaiko. The creamy texture is infused with the saltiness and umami of the colatura, making it a perfect accompaniment to Japanese sake.~ Sushi ~● Marinated Tuna from Nagasaki, Iki ★ Toro ● Kohada ★ Yariika ★ Ishidai ● Haruko Tai ★ Shiroboshi Fute Tai ● Maaji ★ Koroshima Purple Sea Urchin ★ Anago ● Kanpyo Maki ◯ Blanched Anago Skin Tossed with ponzu sauce. ★ Amakusa Purple Sea Urchin ★ Live Anago ★ Kuruma Ebi ● Unagi Finally, I enjoyed tamago and miso soup.This time, due to the typhoon, there were fewer additional menu items than usual, but even so, the variety offered at Karashima is unique and abundant compared to other sushi restaurants.
