Kaz Japanese Fusion Sushi (Closed)

Left: Aburi Salmon Roll $19.80
Right: Rainbow Roll $19.80

Kaz Jap Sushi has always been my favourite. Although they are a bit pricey, but the quality of their food is really commendable. Their sashimi rolls are really premium topped with fresh ingredients.

They do takeaways too!

Located at a corner of the second floor of the sleepy Rochester Mall, Kaz Japanese Fusion Sushi is a fairly spacious yet not crowded Japanese place that serves pretty good food at decent prices. Though, I wouldn’t be inclined to agree about the fusion part – ‘creative’ would’ve probably been a bit more suitable.Inside the restaurantAnyway, fusion or not, I think they did a good job with the food.

Inside the restaurant

Anyway, fusion or not, I think they did a good job with the food. Between two people, we had four fairly substantial, quality dishes for about $45 each – which given the quality of the food, I find is really quite reasonable.

Lots of happy rainbows in this place

We started with the Rainbow Donburi (~$22), which was a beautiful mixed sashimi rice bowl with salmon, shrimp, scallop, octopus, tamago and other types of fish.

The sashimi was fresh and of just the right thickness for them to have a juicy, sweet crunch. The portion was quite generous too.

Juicy, creamy oysters yums

Next up was a seasonal special, the Kaki Fry ($15.80 or $16.80 for 3, $21.80 for 5). The oysters were moist and meaty, and crispy outside without being covered with too much batter. This came with some fresh salad and a delicious white creamy sauce.

The delectable rainbow roll

And a dish I really loved was the Rainbow Roll ($18.80), a happy orange, pink, beige and green sight (made up of avocado and salmon, tuna and scallop sashimi slices draped over sushi rolls stuffed with yummy prawn tempura and tobiko, which were absolutely delightful.

The savoury sushi roll with the fresh, sweet sashimi and creamy avocado was a rather nice combination indeed.

We also had Teriyaki Chicken (around $15.80 or $16.80), which was nice but not particularly fantastic, a decent rendition.

Kaz’s teriyaki chicken dish

I wouldn’t really say the food blew me away, but it was enjoyable and rather importantly, fresh. Overall a pleasant experience eating at this nice, quiet restaurant, which was conducive for conversation and relaxation.

But if what you’re looking for is copious amounts of sashimi at great value, opt for one of the Japanese buffet places instead (which I will write about soon too because I love these).

I’d say this place is worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for this sort of environment and food. And I hear the lunch sets are delicious and good value, so perhaps I (or you) should try one of these sometime!

Green Tea $1.50
I love to complement my sushi cuisine with the authentic Japanese green tea instead of soft drinks. Here, KAZ serves a small cup of green tea at $1.50, refillable though.

Agedashi Tofu $5.80
A side dish worth a mention is the Agedashi Tofu, in order words, the usual fried tofu we order in a Japanese Restaurant. Dipped in a pool of delectable tempura sauce and sprinkled with seaweed flakes, the soft fried tofu is a good one to start off your meal. But do make sure to consume it asap so that it doesn't turn too soggy or too cold, else it won't be as nice anymore.

Salmon Carpaccio $10.80
Another starter that we had was the Salmon Carpaccio ($10.80), a slightly grilled sliced salmon with homemade sauce. The homemade sauce did bring out the semi-raw salmon out very nicely, giving it an extra salty taste on top of the salmon, but definitely not too salty. I like how the salmon is slightly grilled because it still maintains certain part of the slice raw, which equates to a two different textures on a humble thin slice of salmon.

As much as I love this dish, I don't really like how the Tobiko (looks like orange crystal balls on the side) are placed about the sliced onions. I'm not a fan of sliced onions and despite trying it on the salmon, I couldn't appreciate it either. Perhaps to me, it would be a better idea to place the Tobiko on top of the salmon so that I can consume them both together.

About 10 slices for $10.80, that isn't too pricey actually.

Rainbow Roll $18.80
My favourite sushi roll at KAZ is none other than the Rainbow Roll ($18.80). Sumptuously packed with shrimp tempura, tobiko, avocado and cucumber; rolled with tuna, salmon, hamachi, scalop and avocado - it totally signifies the restaurant's name, a fusion of many things.

Why I like this Rainbow Roll is because of its fresh and generous amount of sashimi wrapping around the sushi roll. A piece of it can actually be wrapped by say, both salmon and tuna sashimi. All in all, a piece of Rainbow Roll contains more than just one sashimi. Not to forget the shrimp tempura which added a crunchy texture to the sushi roll.

It's very pretty looking too! With all the colours and the nice presentation. A Rainbow Roll set has 8 pieces.

Katsu Roll $18.80
Katsu as we all know, is deep-fried pork cutlet. Here they used sirloin pork. But it stands too small a portion of the roll, and the rest entirely filled with lettuce.
