Chu-toro is just godly stuff 😋

Sumptuous fatty tuna nigiri. So glad there's a place nearby that serves it and does it justice.

Local uni from BC waters. Just in season and so creamy 😋🤤

Premium nigiri platter - exquisite selection, beautifully presented and tasting so fresh 😋

A favourite of the chef's - the lesser popularised sea eel is softer with a milder flavour than the better known freshwater unagi. For me, this is the superior eel!

Never had this type of clam before (arc shell) but it was a revelation! A superb nigiri!

Delicious Hamaguri (Common Orient Clam) completing a trio of clams in the chef's dinner selection

Horse mackerel is just so good 😋

Bluefin (Hon-maguro), marinaded lightly in soy sauce for about 10 minutes before being served

It doesn't have the aesthetic of other cuts, but the firm initial bite of this clam nigiri turns tender in the mouth a chew or two afterwards.

7pcs set comprising: Bluefin kamatoro, Hokkaido uni, King salmon, Pike mackerel, Amberjack, Stripejack, & Marbled sole Amazing choices from the chef!

Little red bream, served simply with a brush of soy sauce

Clam nigiri always a revelation when fresh. Superb texture and so satisfying to eat 😋

You get a nice creamy mouthful of salmon with these gunkan rolls. Best to down it in one to avoid it collapsing. Open wide! 😄😋

Just wished they were bigger 😋

Soft and a little bit sweet. And wonderfully oversized for the rice but I'm not complaining! 😋

Few things I love more in the world of sushi than a nice big ikura gunkan roll.

Indulged in a big tray of ikura gunkan. Each popping roe releasing a satisfying burst of salty goodness 😋

Baby cuttlefish nigiri, served with a brush of soy sauce and tiny drop of lime

Technically also Ika nigiri, but this is from a normal sized squid 🦑

A little ginger, grated finely along with green onion, to elevate this skipjack tuna nigiri

Grouper nigiri 👌🏻

Snow crab told topped with salmon tartar and truffle mayo - really great blend of flavours and textures

Very nice seared butterfish sashimi with a spicy ponzu sauce

Sushi Boat #5, with a superb range of signature rolls, nigiri and sashimi.

Oshizushi of pressed BBQ tuna with parmesan. Interesting fusion dish

I had low expectations that were surpassed for this a la carte order of unagi and toro nigiri. The former had a nice amount of sauce and none of the regrettable after taste of bad eel. The toro was better than I thought it would be. Nothing prestigious, but definitely richer tasting.

Popular place in Taupo, serving up classic nigiri and maki alongside a few funkier large rolls, Aburi nigiri and gunkan.

It's a staple of virtually every sushi menu for good reason. Hard to get wrong!

Was alright - nice texture combinations but could have used a spicy mayo on top or something. Not dry, but needed something else to bring it together as you chew.
