Happiness In A Bowl (Uni, Otoro and Ikura)

I'm pretty sure that using these three ingredients in the same dish would make most lovers of Japanese cuisine happy. This bowl was just full of sweetness!

However, I would have preferred if the sweetness I tasted came from the Uni, Otoro and Ikura instead of the Japanese pickles sandwiched between the trio and the rice. I felt that the sweetness from the pickles easily overpowered the main stars of the dish. This also meant that both the Uni and Otoro ended up appearing like they were just there to provide contrasts in texture. Fortunately, the Ikura was able to hold up better than its counterparts. Each time a roe burst, I was reminded that Ikura was in mouth, and not just rice and pickles.

For those who are interested, the type of Uni used was Bafun Uni. I'm not too sure whether this will be the same all year round as the taste of the different types of uni (Bafun, Aka, Kita-Murasaki, etc.), as with most ingredients, changes with the season.

Also, don't expect to get the same quality as Shinji or the other top end places for the significantly lower prices that Ryo Sushi charges.
