Kaisen don from The Sushi Bar. The formidably girthed smorgasbord of raw ocean is guaranteed to stave off your sashimi craves for at least forty-six days, perhaps too efficiently – the cuts are on occasion remarkably trying on one’s teeth, as you will find yourself adjusting your in-mouth content to…
Aburi Kaisen Don from The Sushi Bar. Evoked the feels I had when I discovered that a Komodo Dragon didn’t breathe fire or fly. Only the scallop emerged from the searing process a radically improved goddess – elsewhere, while the seductive aroma of melted fish fat permeated the air, the…

Scallop & Mixed Fish Don from Teppei Syokudo. Essentially your standard value-for-money if slightly too salty Teppei Syokudo Kaisendon but with a few fish chunks substituted for scallop.
