Sashimi lovers, you’re in luck! Ichiban Sushi and Ichiban Boshi have outdone themselves as the premium sashimi mecca with a new limited-time special — Salmon Splendour, an All Things Salmon Feast that uses the restaurant’s high-quality fish sourced from the pristine waters of Norway.
The best part about binging on salmon? Ingredients in each dish notwithstanding, it’s completely healthy! Salmon is considered a superfood as it’s loaded with omega-3 fatty acids that have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and type-2 diabetes, as well as lower bad cholesterol and blood pressure, while also being a good source of protein.
Get the salmon feast rolling with Diamond Cut Aburi Salmon Sushi (S$5.90), flame-seared with a diamond-shaped score to achieve a sumptuous balance of velvety raw and flaky salmon textures. Yuzu zest brightens the dish with its colour and citrusy tones.
Perilla leaves wrapped with salmon between the rolls of Tobidashi Salmon Maki (S$9.90) add a sprightly element of herbal mint while the tobiko topping introduces briny pops as you munch on the delicate sushi.
Kazutake Ramen: 24-hr eatery with yakiniku, truffle ramen & black sesame pearl BBT
Mentai Salmon Sandwich Sushi (S$12.90) is a different take on the crowd-favourite mentaiko salmon sushi. Perilla leaves and a slab of salmon are pressed between 2 ‘slices’ of sushi rice to make perfectly bite-sized ‘sandwiches’. They are then drizzled with mentaiko sauce and a sprinkling of furikake to push the umami flavours up a notch.
True to its name, the Salmon Volcano (S$13.90) is a formation of salmon slices layered on top of one another with a topping of black and orange pearls of tobiko. Expect some ‘eruption’ of the tobiko as you extract the small rolls of cucumber and egg sushi from underneath.
The Salmon Splendour selection is rounded off with Yuzu Truffle Salmon Carpaccio ($14.90). Thinly-sliced salmon sashimi are served with truffle paste and cherry tomato to be livened up with a dropper of yuzu orange sauce. Apply the sauce at your own discretion but be mindful of sharing it around, if applicable.
If you’re thinking that can’t be all to Ichiban Boshi’s (and Ichiban Sushi) salmon feast, you’re right! How about a fiery spectacle courtesy of their Flaming Aburi Truffle Salmon Cheese Roll (S$20.90)? This permanent menu item is comprised of seared salmon, egg, cucumber, avocado sushi with truffle paste and truffle sauce — heated by a gentle orange flame to form a molten bed of cheesy goodness.
Other sashimi dishes you might want to look out for are the Smoked Sashimi Moriawase (S$16.90) with scallops and bluefin tuna, Smoked Salmon Sashimi (S$7.90 for 3pcs) or Smoked Hamachi Sashimi (S$9.90 for 3pcs).
The Salmon Splendour selection is available at all Ichiban Sushi and Ichiban Boshi outlets for a limited time.
