While I cannot comment much on the Toyosu set which were mainly made up of raw fish sushis, the husband was nodding away in approval for the fresh quality of their sashimi. I had a taste of the Ama ebi, also known as the sweet shrimp, and was truly blown away by the sweet taste and creamy texture.

And if you wonder why the sushi rice appears to be brownish, it’s actually made using Koshiibuki rice that’s only milled in Singapore before turning into sushi rice using a blend of red vinegar and Daiginjo vinegar, enhancing its flavour and aroma.

Sushi selection might not be as varied as expected and could come across as slightly pricey.

My favourite of the night had to be the Assorted Scallop Set where the taste experience ranged from the simplest, creamy scallop sashimi to slightly smoky aburi, followed by an aromatic sesame nuttiness with savoury saucy notes and finally, a burst of umami from the aburi mentai. The scallops were plump and had a hint of buttery taste.

Finally somewhere that Westies can look forward to as the newly opened Sen Sen Sushi by @donkisg now joins the selection of conveyor belt sushi restaurants at @jemsingapore! A familiar sight as you would spot in Genki Sushi or Sushiro, sushis are delivered by ‘Shinkansens’ on the conveyor belt except that there are no sushis on rotation.

We went with the recommended Oshi set, which looked slightly different from the usual sushi. Oshi sushi originated from Osaka, known as "pressed sushi" or "box sushi”, hence its rectangular shape. Consisting pickled mackerel, shrimp, conger eel, and salmon, the seafood here flaunts of its natural sweetness on top of an undeniable freshness. The mackerel was especially creamy while the congee eel and salmon had a smooth fattiness.
