Soshi (壮士) Hiroshima

in hiroshima, japan (aug’24)

trip to hiroshima was mainly for this sushiya right in the city center hidden in plain sight. not just very good cospa, the neta here were very unique to the coast of hiroshima and the style of taisho himself. steering clear of flashy ingredients but putting unconventional twists and highlighting ingredients from around the area.

we began the meal strong with raw hamo, the first time i’ve tried this method of serving and was surprisingly really tasty, slightly marinated in sake on a bed of hamo eggs. next was ayu, confit and baked with cherry tomatoes almost taking a western approach. raw karasumi with aori ika was also another favourite tsumami here, almost a thick sauce like texture to eat with the aori ika. neta here focuses on shiromi and less on the tunas hence his shari was slightly on the mild end. one of the most memorable was the raw anago, first time trying this as well and was pretty surprising in texture and flavour. ended with a really lovely dashimaki tamago oden style, made a la minute. taisho was also extremely friendly and welcoming, spectrum of great drinks, especially loved the fruit sakes here, highly recommend visiting when in hiroshima.
