Norigami

Another pop up that was hard to come by was Norigami.

They are actually borrowing the space from Hidden Omakase.  

And you have to book ahead of time.

This is Blue Crab, it comes with cucumbers and Yuzu Aioli.  To me, the roll didn't have enough crab meat and the lemon taste was over empowering anything else in the mix.

This is their Waygu with truffle soy sauce.  Meat taste good, the only complaint is that the sauce is not spread evenly.  So, you can taste the parts that doesn't have anything with the rest.

Gyutoro which is sous vide for 72 hours short ribs.  It was strange, the first bite and last bite were full of flavors but the middle was skipped.  Not even sure how that happened.

This is Supreme which has Uni, Toro, Foie Gras, and Siberian Sturgeon.  All great ingredients, in theory they should all go well together.  Somehow there seems to be some dissonance amongst the toppings.  The temperature is cold on the fish and warm on the rest. It was kinda weird on first bite.  Uni is creamy and the Foie Gras tasted great, but since the chef staggered the toppings instead of truly layering them on top of each other where each bite gets a full well rounded feeling that they wanted you to have; instead it feels incomplete.  The sauce was strong on here as well.

If you don't want to be filled up with rice, you can ask them to put less rice, which is why all these rolls looks like it's so tiny.  Don't worry, they are giving you the full piece for toppings.

They give you a time and it's 75 minutes per service, if you will be late, do let them know.  They will try their best to work around you.  They open up for monthly bookings, so keep an eye out on their Instagram to keep up.  Sometimes they have last minute openings or accommodating last minute walk-ins.
