Just thought I’d share a few delectable mouthfuls from my latest visit to Shira Nui. As always, Shira Nui does possibly the best nigirizushi in town. On this most recent visit, we got to try three different types toro (the fatty flavoursome underside/belly of a fish); salmon, swordfish and king fish. Oh…what bliss.
Above is salmon toro, sprinkled with shichimi and given a blast of heat from a blow torch. Salmon roe pearls were the crown to this magnificent glory. The toro practically melted in the mouth, and the roe popped delicious salty sweetness.
Then we had okra that had been stuffed with crab meat, tempura’d and deep fried, sliced in half, placed on top of the nigiri, wrapped in nori and seasoned with a daub of umeboshi paste. Crunchy and sweet and salty and sour. A perfect mouthful.
You can read my last post about Shira Nui here. I don’t think I need repeat how much I admire Chef Hirosan’s work.

One day I’ll go there. Well, I hope I will!
Put it on the to do list. This is one sushi experience you don’t want to miss.
