Sashimi and Nigiri Dinner

This time I started out with an 1o piece moriawase sashimi platter with hon maguro (bluefin tuna), bincho maguro (white tuna), hamachi (yellowtail), susuki (sea bass) and king sake (king salmon). As always the taste and texture of the fish was breathtaking.

As I was sitting at the sushi bar, I decided to go with the sushi bar exclusives and opted for a 7 piece omakase nigiri menu. It starte out with umi masu (ocean trout with shiso leaf), toro (bluefin fatty tuna belly) with white sturgeon roe and katsuo (lightly cherrywood smoked bonito). After that it went on with kamasu (barracuda), zuke chu toro (red wine cured bluefin medium fatty tuna), a kusshi oyster and one amazing piece of wagyu (grade a5 Japanese beef striploin). To finish the meal I chose one final piece of shirayaki (grilled freshwater eel) as an alternative to my usual choice of unagi.

Sushi Guide Verdict

As many times before, this dinner was an amazing culinary experience. With seats directly at the sushi bar I could watch the sushi chef’s prepare the fish and could enjoy the select items of the sushi bar exclusive menu. The atmosphere at Sushi Ran is alway very cozy and welcoming, making me feel at home. The menu options are extensive and the quality and taste of the food was outstanding, above and beyond to be precise. The drink menu offered a wide selection of wine and sake and as usual the staff was extremely friendly and heartwarming.

Sashimi Dinner

This time, I had a light omakase sashimi dinner at the sushi bar. It came with hon maguro (bluefin tuna), suzuki (sea bass), zuke sake (white soy sauce cured fatty salmon), kanpai (amber jack), bincho maguro (white tuna), sawara(cherrywood smoked horse mackerel), hamachi (yellowtail), o toro (bluefin fatty tuna) and zuke chu toro (red wine cured bluefin medium fatty tuna). To cut it short, it truly was amazing… as always.

Sushi Guide Verdict

Sushi Ran offers a truly unique atmosphere both at the open sushi bar as well as at regular tables. The food menu is extensive and the restaurant also offers various sushi bar exclusives. Everything is of the highest quality and the most amazing taste. The wine and sake menu offers anything from light aperitifs to heavy red wines. As always the service was outstanding although we were staying too long, being the last guests of the night.
