Miraku has been on my must-visit list for quite some time, and my recent omakase experience there truly exceeded my expectations!

The meal began with a refreshing cold appetiser of baby spinach, mushrooms, and anchovies. Followed by a Japanese egg custard with corn purée and clams, which was a lovely introduction to the delightful progression of flavours.

The sushi selection was the highlight of the meal:
1. Aodai (green snapper) and chutoro (medium fatty tuna)
2. Ipoyoii (rainbow snapper) with yuzu kosho
3. Shimaji (amberjack) – its firm texture was simply delightful
4. Zukae akame (lean tuna) with yuzu
5. Sawara (spanish mackerel) – this piece was so tender, it melted in my mouth.
6. Nishin (herring) – this one was flame-torched!
7. Otoro (bluefin tuna) – a classic, my favourite!
8. Murasaki uni (long spike urchin)

Following the sushi, we had a mini maze don featuring tuna belly and salmon roe, and white miso soup.

For dessert, the homemade lychee ice cream was a refreshing finale, perfectly light and sweet. Hojicha tea was served at the end of the meal with the dessert to ensure good digestion.

Chef Steven truly made the experience memorable, taking the time to elaborate on each dish and engage in conversation, making the meal all the more enjoyable. The sushi was exceptional, showcasing fresh ingredients and meticulous preparation.

Hope to come back soon!
