Dinner at Sushisho Nomura

on 22 Mar 2019

by Gerhard Huber

Great sushi meal in Kagoshima. 12 otsumami and 17 nigiri combined to a very pleasant meal. Chef Normura prides himself to source the best fish around Kagoshima and has a contrarian streak. He uses hiramasa rather than buri and hamachi because they do not smell nice. He also uses katsuo instead of maguro, because he does not like the texture.
His nigiris are relatively small, the shari has a low acidity which I normally don't like, but here it worked, at least for me. Of the 17 nigiris each of the netas were excellent.
