Fancy Sushi Set ...
... there were a few disappointments on this set, particularly the frilly-looking pepitona clam closer to the right hand side of the plate - quite tough and chewy, and also the charred shrimp on the end, possibly because we weren't quite sure how to eat it (suck out the flesh, or eat it with the shell?). The tako and raw shrimp weren't overly memorable, and the shrimp was probably the first slightly-mushy shrimp we've had so far. However, there were some truly stunning pieces of sushi on this plate, particularly the pieces that had been torched slightly, and also the sublime eel. Even though there were a few pieces that weren't great, the good ones were so phenomenally good that it was a blur of sushi sensations.
