On request, I asked for my sushi to be done aburi style (i.e. half cooked). As far as I can remember there was salmon, maguro, scallop, ika, mackerel, and prawn. I love Japanese food so perhaps I should brush up on my knowledge of fish. Anyhow, the aburi sushi pieces were done really nicely; each piece had the smokiness that comes with grilling the fish, yet it leaves room for the freshness of the raw meat to come out. The chef drizzled the sushi with his maki soya sauce which leaned toward the sweeter side. Wasabi put in between the rice and the fish was just right. The set comes with chawamushi and miso soup as well but I was too eager and couldn't wait to eat my sushi. Don't be fooled by the portion - even though it looks quite light, I was reasonably full after consuming these dainty pieces of fish and rice. Perhaps altogether, the rice actually adds up to about 1 bowl. 

The omakase set costs between 80-120, a pretty reasonable price for a full-on Japanese meal.
