Sushi Kanazawa @ International Building

Location: International Building, #02-13 360 Orchard Road

One of my friend's colleague mentioned that Sushi Kanazawa is quite a good place for sushi so we decided to check it out.

Sushi Kanazawa Tel: 6738 3833
It is best to make reservations because the shopfront is pretty small. Only 12 seats in front of the sushi counter.


How it works:
1) What is interesting about Sushi Kanazawa is that the chef decides what you eat. (Unless of course you request the chef to make some other sushi)

2) Each customer have a plate in front of them which the chefs will place on after making.


Two chefs were making the sushi when my friend and I visited. They are so skilful: the way they slice the sashimi and their technique of making the sushi with one or two presses.

Buffet Price (Weekday): $37 per person.

Piping hot green tea. These are served with tea leaves residues which sank to the bottom so I figure that don't use the tea bag ones. Quite to my liking. I dislike those that taste like plain water.

Edamame(peas) are on the table for munching while we wait for our sushi.

Sashimi Moriawase - Starter.  Tuna, Salmon, White Fish and Squid Sashimi. These are thick sashimi unlike those petty portions in umisushi. Freshness is guaranteed.  I love raw fish with wasabi. They are the perfect combination.

Nikujaga (Stewed Chicken & Vegetables) - A small bowl of soup with chicken bits, radish, fried tofu and a jelly cube which taste like sea cucumber (I have no idea what that is).

Rating: 4.5/5

Give it a try. Yummylicious.

I suggest you starve yourself before going. I only managed to eat around 17 pieces of sushi because the rice is really filling. If you have a huge appetite and love sushi, I definitely recommend this.
