This time in Shenzhen, I found a Japanese restaurant where you can make reservations to taste the chef's omakase, which is Sushi Dai.
For just ¥298, you can enjoy the chef's omakase, which includes the following dishes:
1. Three types of sashimi
- Medium fatty tuna
- King of pond fish
- Yellowtail (also known as amberjack)
(The sashimi is very fresh, and because it's thickly sliced, the texture is particularly rich.)
2. Three types of sake dishes
- Abalone with liver sauce
- Tilefish with crispy scales
- Cutlass fish tempura
(The abalone is fresh; the tilefish with crispy scales is quite special, as the scales are crunchy and very tasty.)
3. Eight pieces of seasonal nigiri sushi
(The eight kinds of sushi are not fixed and depend on the chef's selection of ingredients for the day; this time, the chef gave me six types of fish, one type of shrimp, and one type of squid.)
4. A special dish
- Foie gras and sea urchin tartare
(The foie gras is a large piece, and it's very fresh with the sea urchin.)
5. Tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette)
6. Steamed egg with black truffle
(The top of the egg is covered with black truffle, which is very fragrant, and the egg itself has a rich flavor.)
7. Soup
- Clam soup
(The soup is clear and has a fresh taste.)
8. Dessert
- French pudding
(The egg flavor is rich and delicious.)
It was my first time trying the chef's omakase, and it felt quite special. The chef places one piece of sushi on the plate in front of you, and after you finish it, he prepares the next piece, which feels very fresh. The price is affordable, and you can make reservations, so it's worth a try.
