Was craving for sashimi and this is my go-to place when I want to have loads of fresh sashimi! For those who have not heard of Sakuraya Fish Mart, this is a pretty casual restaurant offering yummy Japanese dishes, sushi etc, but what makes them different is their sashimi. Instead of ordering a plate from the menu, you have to go to the cold storage area where they place all their fresh sashimi, from salmon to tako (octopus) to swordfish to uni (sea urchin) and hotate (scallops) etc. You pick the
My bf and I shared the salmon & tako sashimi & braised eel in egg soup, and each of us had the rice set ($4). The rice set consisted of rice, miso soup & an appetizer. Miso soup had a decent amount of tofu cubes and seaweed, and the appetizer that day was a cold dish of radish cubes, kelp and sliced carrots. The appetizer was very small but the vegetables had absorbed all the sauce and was very flavourful.
Salmon $15 & Tako $8 SashimiThickness of the sashimi was sliced just right and both were fresh. Don't have much to say about this except YUM!!
Braised Eel in Egg Soup $12The portion for this was more than enough for 2 persons. It was not soup per se but basically pieces of braised eel cooked in egg. The egg was not cooked fully hence the texture was really nice and soft. The doneness of the egg was perfect! The egg soup was sweet and savoury, which goes really well with rice. In fact, it's one of those dishes that makes you want to eat more rice!
It's not my first time here and I'll definitely be going back again and again!
