    Ishin Japanese DiningPork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    As expected of a Japanese restaurant, the variations of sushi served here is impressive. Instead of the usual sushi, entertain your taste buds with the myriad of flavours in Ishin’s famous rolls. The Phoenix Roll is a deep fried prawn, rolled in sticky rice and topped alternately with strips of avocados and mangoes; all ingredients as fresh as it can be. Served in the shape of a long prawn, the prawn middle is excitingly juicy, and all the flavours came out well in every bite of the sushi. Other worthy mentions include the generous size of Caterpillar Roll that consists of soft shell crab, roe and avocado, and the Special House Maki with their crunchy fried prawns. 

    Tips

    The sushi variety at Izumi definitely covers a wide range of options. Theres of course the salmon sushi, unagi sushi, and a great visual highlight is the tamago mentai with bonito flakes; which is topped with Japanese mayonnaise and bonito flakes. The rice binds the additional ingredients very well, even after dipping them extensively in soy sauce, showing great rolling and forming technique in the sushi. The pieces of fish are very fresh and rich with flavour. There's plenty to enjoy in terms of flavour, especially in the case of the tamago mentai with with bonito flakes, which has the sweetness from the mayonnaise combining well with the saltiness of the bonito flakes to create a pleasurable bite.

    Tips

    Careful when handling the tamago mentai with bonito flakes so that the bontio flakes don't fall off the sushi.
