in nagoya, japan (aug’24)

continued my trip for a quick dinner in nagoya, a highly sought after neighbourhood sushiya known for his kuruma ebis. overall really good cospa, and glad i ticked this place off my list but the rustic style and mild flavour in shari was not my preferred cup of tea.

tsumami was influenced with kaiseki preparations, contrasting nigiris and leaning on bolder flavours, like the very strong briny awabi kimo sauce udon and the teriyaki sauce grilled maguro. in the nigiri segment, kuruma ebi was served two ways as the first pieces, one which has been blanched for around 30 seconds so its mostly raw and one which is fully cooked. was quite an interesting comparison which is rarely served elsewhere. in between nigiris, some hot dishes were also served like the ‘shako miso’ which is like a miso meat sauce mix. these dishes had such strong flavour it contrasted so much with the nigiris causing a bit of palate confusion haha.

ended with 2 tamagoyakis, one as like a cooked sweet omelette, one as castella form, then another poached egg in the miso soup which completely stuffed me up. a good try and a semi-accessible sushiya when in nagoya.
