Nori Nori Omakase

Been hearing an All You Can Eat Omakase and highly curious.

The shop is tucked in a corner shopping center. 

I got the Hibiscus Tea - it has hibiscus, passionfruit, citrus and tonic, which is not too sweet but has enough flavor. 

This is Amaebi Tai Chanh - which has spring mix, pineapple anchovy, lemon, shallot, shrimp chips to go with the flavors. 

This is oysters from PEI, Namjim (Thai spicy sauce) & Ikura (caviar) on one and ponzu & toro in the other.  Small, clean and fresh.

Ankimo - spicy ponzu sauce, masago (smelt) and negi (scallion)

Scallop Crudo - it has cucumber, leeks, puffed rice, and golden berry vinaigrette.  Light texture, not super empowering. 

This is Uni Chirashi - small bed of rice at the bottom, Hokaiddo uni, covered up by Ikura's on top. 

Toro (sushi - fatty tuna)

Fatty torów ich fried shallot to give it the crunch. 

Spicy Hokkaido scallop handroll

Salmon nigiri

This is Japanese barracuda - it wasn't marinated very well, but it was cooked well. 

Scallop nigiri with foie gras on top, which brought out the flavors over all. 

Chawamushi (egg custard) with foie gras, caviar, and chive

Yellowtail with apple slices in the roll

Spicy Tuna with pickled diakon handrail.

Uni from Hokkaido - pretty smooth going down.

Chu Toro- it melts in your mouth good.

Saba- which is mackerel with lemon on top. 

Madai with Japanese seaweed - the seaweed brought ou the saltiness of it all. 

Kanpachi (amberjack) with chive nigiri - pretty yummy.

It's funny because the menu listed 15 items, but since it's all you can eat up to 90 mins.  It's either you tap out or if you stay the full 90, they keep making stuff.  Which is very different than the other omakase, which typically save that time for when you want to order what you enjoyed most during the course.  But no complaints here, we really enjoyed the courses, the staff were super friendly.  Both our servers and the chefs that brought our food out each course. 

Reservation is highly recommended, simply because they do have seatings for 14 people each seating.  Staff is friendly.  The parking is small especially during dinner time.  Just have to keep an eye peeled.
