For Sunday lunch today, Steve and I decided to pop into Hinoki on our way back from the supermarket. I also wanted to pick up some green tea and miso soup to have in the house.
I love visiting this little specialist food store. It's always friendly, well laid out and interesting to spend some time in.
It seemed easiest to order a mixed platter. After ordering it, I felt maybe I should have ordered some dishes separately and experienced a pang of buyer's remorse but I lived with it!
After a short wait our platter was ready and we lovingly took it home.
Beautifully presented, it was a lunchtime delight. Everything was spankingly fresh and delicious. It was pretty conservative and traditional with salmon, kingfish, tuna, tamago (egg) and prawn. Perhaps a little more variety and less salmon and more something else like spicy tuna rolls may have just elevated this slightly but really that's just me being picky. As far as traditional sushi goes, this is it!
