The Phenomenal - The Bluefin Tuna was incredible and was topped with almonds, which added great texture and flavor. The Chūtoro (medium fatty Bluefin Tuna) was also phenomenal and it literally just melted in my mouth. Topped with caviar and scallions, this was my favorite piece of nigiri.

The Fantastic - The Uni (Sea Urchin) was prepared with wasabi and was amazing. The Toro Hand Roll, served after the nigiri, was brilliant and the black caviar in it was lovely. The homemade raspberry sorbet that ended the Omakase was also fantastic and came with a homemade white chocolate mousse and sesame crunchies.

The Great - Before going into the nigiri, I was given a delicious hamachi (yellowtail) with a jalapeño pumpkin purée. The Japanese Red Snapper was the first piece of nigiri and was a really nice way to kick off that part of the meal. The Scallop nigiri was topped with roe and scallions; I was impressed. I also put the Golden Eye Red Snapper in this category; the fish, which is fattier than regular salmon, was unique and very tasty.

The Good - The actual fish of the Salmon Trout nigiri was amazing but the truffle sauce was a little too overpowering. The Shrimp nigiri was served with a lemon mayonnaise and jalapeño purée and was tasty. The Ōtoro with uni was the last nigiri and while it was good, I didn’t feel like the flavors of the uni and fish combined very well.

The Verdict - Kissaki is one of the best sushi meals I’ve ever had. It’s not inexpensive but the value is incredible - some of the best fish in town. And if you are wondering whether you will leave feeling hungry, the answer is no!
