Food culture 101: Fusion sushi

Being in Okazaki, one is rather starved of gastronomic experiences.
So it is with delight that I was taken to this restaurant around the Gamagori area by a local who frequents this restaurant.

A pretty selection of what could be described as Japanese fusion nigiri and maki, mixing typical Japanese ingredients into traditional sushi. Whilst not generally being a fan of rather limp sweet prawns that graces many a sushi bar, of particular note was the sweet prawns in this place. Aside from being the most plump I've ever encountered, they had a slight crunch that made it a real pleasure to savour. And how can you fault a whole crab claw on a nigiri.




I hear winter is a great time for seafood there, so it seems good things do come with the cold.
