Sushi Hiro
Visited Sushi Hiro for the second time on Sunday. First time made a big impression on me. Don’t know if I was caught up in the hype or what, but the tastiness of the fresh vibrant sushi was hard to deny.
This time I ordered a deluxe rice. I had a craving for something substantial. It didn’t disappoint.
Bed of sushi rice, with 12 different types of seafood on top. Can’t tell you what all of them were, hard to remember, but the usual suspects are there. Tuna, tuna belly, eel, sweet prawns, scallops, salmon roe, squid etc.
It felt a far less formal way to eat! Felt like I was at home scooping rice into my gob with a few bits of fish here and there. Although, I did end up wrapping balls of rice up with bits of fish… nigiri!
Nat ordered the Deluxe Nigiri Selection
We ordered this one the last time. We also ordered a few extra a la carte nigiri.
Scallop and Mackerel to be precise. Scallop… got to be one of the best. So sweet and juicy, delicate flavour. Mackerel… full of flavour. I prefer mackerel to most of the typical nigiri (tuna, salmon) because the flavour is so distinctive and strong (is the mackerel cooked?! I swear it must be!!)
Anyway, we were stuffed, and for under £50 including drinks it was quite reasonable for the quality of what we got. Next time though, I’ll be trying Kiraku down the road. I like the look of their miso paste aubergine!!!
