Senmi Sushi

Went to Senmi Sushi with Ed cause I wanted to eat Chirashi don.

Here you can create you own chirashi don which is a bowl of rice topped with seafood and vegetables.

Here is our creation ($22). We added Ikura, Chutoro and Amaebi. It was really good. The sashimi was quite fresh and went well with the sushi rice, seaweed and (my favourite) ikura! But if you're too lazy to create one you can just go for their standard chirashi don which can be found in their menu.

Uni, Hamachi and Ebi Fry Bomb ($22). Deep fried coated prawns wrapped in seaweed and sushi rice with yellowtail fish topped with uni, spring onions and yellow flowers and drizzled with a pink sauce and garnished with more tobiko and ikura. It was really good. You get crunch from the prawns and tons of flavour from all the ingredients. What I didn't like though was the uni which was more on the strong sea smell side then I would like. Lucky Ed liked it so I gave it to him.

Dynamite Maki ($16.80). Prawn and avocado roll with flamed-seared wagyu beef slices topped with cheese, tempura bits and spring onion. First time having beef with sushi rice. The maki on the inside was quite mushy luckily there was the tmepura bits that gave it some crunch and the sauce which provided flavour for the sushi roll. I would say this is quite a unique maki.

Aburi Selection Platter ($18.80). Amaebi foie gras, scallop with mentaiko and salmon all flamed-torched. The salmon was good with the sweet sauce drizzled on top. The scallop was meaty and went well with the slightly spicy cod roe and mayo topping and the sweet shrimp with the creamy foie gras was a good match. My favourite was the scallop followed by the amaebi and lastly the salmon.
