On August 30th, the autumn grand menu will be available at Sushiro. I actually ate and ranked the featured lineup, such as sushi made with seasonal saury and the newly introduced "Jagajaga" series (which I will explain later)!
Immediately, from the 1st place.
◆ 1st place "pacific saury charred soy sauce nigiri" 100 yen (excluding tax, the same applies below)
Even without the patronage of "seasonal food", this is a mess! When chewed, it has a "fluffy" mouthfeel that does not get caught, and the richness of the greasy saury spreads.
The taste of autumn is felt by the aroma of charred soy sauce that has been soaked in. It goes great with rice!
◆ 2nd place "Scallop charred soy sauce" 180 yen
It's thick enough to make your mouth fluffy when you stretch it! Although it has a plentiful texture, it melts when chewed and gives off a rich umami.
Eating the savory seafood made me feel like I was having a barbecue near the sea at the end of summer.
◆ 3rd place "Jagajaga corn" 100 yen
Yes, "Jagajaga" is finally here! Potatoes are a new snack-like ingredient made by deep-fried shredded potatoes in the store. A warship with plenty of mayo corn on it is a potato corn.
The crunchy texture of potatoes, the aroma that fills the mouth, and the richness of oil. The more you chew, the more delicious the umami will ooze out. This insanely matches the creamy and sweet Mayocorn! The taste like sweets is also a key point.
It seems that children can eat it deliciously, and it seems to go well with alcohol.
◆ 4th place "Meat and fried eggplant udon" 280 yen
Udon noodles with an elegant scent of dashi stock, topped with beef and kamaboko, which are sweet and spicy when fried, topped with green onions and sesame seeds.
The moment you open the lid, the eggplant jumps into your eyes, and the eggplant is vivid! When you eat it, it's juicy and delicious ...! The meat is punchy in the gentle taste as a whole.
The smooth and chewy udon noodles, the sesame seeds, and the crispy bittersweet green onions are in harmony with each other.
◆ 5th place "Feeling Montblanc" 180 yen
At the end, the dessert digs in! Montblanc, the representative of autumn desserts. It was sold last year (2016) and was well received, so it will be re-appearing this year as well.
Plenty of malon cream is fluffy, but the refreshing sweetness is a good impression. Whipped cream is wrapped inside to add smoothness and rich richness to the mouth.
The bottom is a refreshing meringue with a fluffy and light texture. It has a lot of volume, but it's not heavy, so even after sushi, you can easily get into another stomach.
In addition, although it was not included in the ranking, here is the recommended lineup.
・ Jagajaga shrimp avocado 100 yen
The onions on the popular sushi "shrimp avocado" are replaced with potatoes. The crispy potatoes and creamy avocado match perfectly.
・ Potato prosciutto ham avocado 100 yen
Prosciutto avocado sushi topped with potatoes. The saltiness of the prosciutto and the potatoes go well together, and it looks like a fashionable snack.
・ Raw saury 100 yen
Luxurious and raw saury in season. A dish that has no dullness and melts in your mouth. Accented with green onions and ginger.
・ Seasonal inari (boiled beef in the rain) 100 yen
Inari sushi made by mixing small pieces of beef simmered in rain with rice and wrapping it in rice. The simple taste that juwatto umami exudes.
・ Sea urchin warship 100 yen
The rich umami of the sea urchin and the crunchy texture of the squid go perfectly together. You can enjoy the taste of the ingredients, so don't sprinkle soy sauce on it.
・ Black mussel
It is crispy and crispy, and has a crunchy texture. I am happy with the deliciousness of the protein shellfish. Isn't it irresistible for shellfish lovers?
・ Autumn chawanmushi (Ginkgo shimeji) 180 yen
In addition to the "autumn taste" such as ginnan and shimeji mushrooms, chawanmushi with shrimp and scallops. A side menu that makes you feel like Sushiro while being a royal road. It looks good for a stomach that is a little tired from summer heat.
・ Jagajaga salad 180 yen
A salad topped with lettuce, pastrami beef and potatoes. Seasoned with Caesar dressing. In a position like a potato crouton.
・ Chocolate banana parfait 280 yen
A rich parfait with chocolate mousse, sponge, cut banana, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate ice cream. The crispy crepe confectionery that is decorated has a nice hidden mechanism that chocolate is inside.
