Sushi: Definition
Sushi describes some popular form of cuisine which many from diverse cultures enjoy.
Essentially chunks of fish covered by rice with seaweed, sushi is a fast food, quick snack and food form which many universally enjoy.
Sushi has a rich history, on the market there are many distinct versions of sushi or crafting styles.
Origins, history of Sushi
Sushi originated from Southeast Asia from efforts to preserve the shelf life of fish through wrapping fish within fermented rice.
Some 4th-century Chinese dictionaries contain a character which means pickled fish kept in rice with salting.
Many found out that upon dipping salted fish inside fermented rice, such fish was preserved through using pickling processes.
These are the oldest form of sushi. Once cooked rice is put in to begin the fermentation procedure, lactic acid bacilli is aired out. Such bacilli blend in with salt to pickle up fresh fish.
Sushi: Mode of preparation
Sushi gets crafted from slender slices of raw fish which get covered with rice with seaweed.
The seaweed, named nori, gets combined along dipped bamboo nets.
Though certain sushi gets manufactured by automation, top grade sushi is hand-made, crafted carefully.
Many sushi rolls get made through choosing different species of fish which meet very high standards in terms of fat levels, colors, or flavors.
The sushi chef slices out tiny sections of raw fish, then seasons these along spices, like some ginger roots.
Wasabi or soy sauce get often used to season sushi rolls.
The chefs add in some form of vinegar which gets boiled from fermented rice to season white rice which gets used to wrap up fresh fish with spices.
Then, the roll gets wrapped up using portions of nori leaves.

| Review 1 | Would like to praise a staff specially, Ms Marylynne.
She went out of her way to help me even before i’ve visited the restaurant. She helped me make a purchase of a cake for my fiancé during her break time to help me surprise my fiancé.
Her service throughout our dining experience was fantastic and we have enjoyed our time there because of her. We strongly believe she deserve the recognition by katachi for such a fantastic service. |
| Review 2 | Great sushi and good location!! Probably one of the best sushi places in Singapore for value!! Visited 3 times already recently, but the first time was even better in terms of freshness and quality. Maybe because they are running the promotion for so long, and they are bringing down the quality of the fish? The Japanese chef at the Omakase counter area looked very tired and he had no smile on his face… I understand that he is busy though. I recommend that he stops doing the promotion and maintain the quality and energy!! Will come back again for sure. |
| Review 3 | The nigiri was amazing – fresh and melt in your mouth! Fish were sliced perfectly and the rice was compact yet you could taste every grain. Perfect mouthfeel! If I had more stomach space I would have ordered an extra 9 pieces of nigiri. Prices were fair given the quality and quantity of food. |

| Review 1 | Superb value for money sushi train restaurant direct from Japan. Be prepared to join the Q if you have not made a reservation. Waiting times easily in excess of 1h for walk-ins. But the wait is worth it for the range and quality of sushi on offer. For the prices, it is really excellent. In addition to sushi, there are also side dishes and rice/noodles on offer. Located inside Isetan. |
| Review 2 | Highly recommend! First experience at Sushiro after recommendation from my Japanese colleague. Was not disappointed! Standards were as good as the rotating belt Sushi chains I’ve tasted in Tokyo, if not better. The pricing is pricier than tokyo but matches to Singapore’s sushi pricing relative to the likes of chains like sushi tei, ichiban, and sakae, but quality is so much better to local competition. I specifically liked the monkfish liver sushi, sardine sushi, dry uni ramen, tamago sushi. Queue was quick, was estimated a 45 min wait but ended up getting seats in 15 mins. Ordering system was straightforward and automated food service was efficient. |
| Review 3 | 1st time trying out Sushiro at scotts! Sushi were great and fresh! Love the Tonkotsu Ramen broth reminds us of all the nice ramen we had in Japan!! the egg is perfectly done as well. The wild tiger prawn were red prawns were big and juicy as well! would definitely come back again! |

| Review 1 | Is good to make a reservation on weekend dining. Our first visit, like the environment and table services. Sushi are decent, taste fresh. Personally like their soy sauce (smell good and salty enough to go with shashimi) and wasabi. Overall, the dining cost is high but worth to go again for quality food. |
| Review 2 | Varied choices for the set lunches which are priced reasonably. Pleasant service crew who will check on your needs regularly. Recommended for a good lunch at busy Novena area. 😊 |

| Review 1 | This meal was at lunch time. I definitely enjoyed the food here 😛 i might have to break it down here. Start with the side dishes. Wagyu was done right at medium rare, tender full of flavor & juicy thanks to the very nice marbling on it. Grilled pork belly is very well seasoned, the light char flavor definitely a good lift to the flavor. Ox tongue with lemon on the side is so tender, lemon complements the taste and covered the mild gamey taste. I never knew Cod fish goes so well with the smell and citrus flavor of the lime, the lime literally doesn’t make the fish texture as oily as it looks and gives it a refreshing touch. The salmon belly by itself is so welldone, crispy skin juicy meat. The wagyu donburi served with ikura and foie gras, in 1 spoonful with the components including the onsen egg, taste so creamy, juicy, sweet and savory. The foie gras has a crispy outer layer that they torched nicely, crunch from it and smoky flavors really elevated the experience of the taste. I never knew foie gras can be so enjoyable. Overall it was a very satisfying meal for me with a very good service team that they have. The price is on the high side. Would come bak again for special occasion 🙂 |
| Review 2 | Their Wagyu Foie Gras Donburi set is the highlight of their lunch menu. Absolutely stunning to look at and tastes even better! Truly a decadent treat for a special occasion. |
| Review 3 | Great value for money set lunches. |

| Review 2 | The restaurant is more than amazing. The food is absolutely speechless 😆. Recommend to sit at the sushi counter, the chefs are very friendly n knowledgeable in Japanese food and you might probably be the first one to know the special dish of the day from the chiller 😆. I’d say the only not-so-perfect is the wait staff but overall my husband n friends are way too happy. Will definitely come again n again and host many friends here. Thank you for the head chef and the 2 amazing chefs who gave made this incredible night. |

| Review 1 | Had the Miraku Sushi course, and it was a fantastic experience. About 16 courses in total, with dishes complementing the previous. At first I was a little underwhelmed by the gentle and neutral taste from the first three dishes, but later understood it was designed not to conflict the more flavourful dishes later on. I appreciated that the sushi were bite sized and well tempered so the temperature difference from the ingredients complemented each other. Service was wonderful – Chefs were very approachable and prepared our sushi following our eating speed. Staff were attentive as well. |
| Review 2 | Had Miraku sushi course during lunch time. I think Miraku is a very good value sushiya considering their fine quality sushi. Very attentive service, clean and cozy, creative and delicious dishes. Five stars bravo. |
| Review 3 | Had a lunch sushi course. Miraku has a fine quality and fresh sashimi. Very attentive service especially Chef Steven, He is attentive and humble person as can see his passionate being a chef. Overall worth more than 5 stars . Would highly recommend to friend to try . |

| Review 1 | Amazing sushi at s great price. Fish flown in from Japan, lovely selection of all different kinds of sushi. Had some great tuna and salmon sushi and nigiri, the shrimp roll was great, and the chef even threw in some special sushi for us on the house! Plus beer from Japan? #winning |
| Review 2 | Overall was a fantastic dinner experience. Sushi and sashimi were fresh. The fish was of high quality with nice texture and taste. The wasabi from the 2nd course was absolutely delicious. It has a rougher texture and stronger wasabi kick which I rarely find in most japanese restaurants. We had the tempura, miso soup and chawanmushi which were flavourful yet well balanced. Finally, we had the dessert which were ice cream with 4 flavors (matcha, strawberry, vanilla and black sesame. Ice cream had a nice silky smooth texture. Black sesame was definitely my favourite. Matcha had that smoky flavor which balanced out the sweetness from the strawberry and vanilla ice cream. Service was excellent. The waitresses were friendly, warm and attentive. We felt that we were being taken care of. 5/5 must visit. Will definitely come again to try out the other dishes. |
| Review 3 | Genuine Japanese sushi! Customer service was a bit lacking but they did look very tired since it was near closing (chefs were super friendly and jovial though). Loved the sashimi, would come back |

| Review 1 | Great kaisen chirashi don! The swordfish sashimi was so good! Salmon was good too but the swordfish stole the limelight; it was so fresh, sweet, and thick slice! One of our favourite places for chirashi don and sashimi! |
| Review 2 | I cannot find another place selling similar good quality cuts, freshness and portion! Seriously recommended to visit at anytime of the day, as can get very busy during lunch and dinner. Staff crew also friendly and pro handling crowd management. Their standard of service is definitely equivalent to established restaurant. Chef behind the bar also works very hard as well. I should say they have a greet team work in keeping customer happy to eat there every time. |
| Review 3 | Value for money. Quality and portions are consistent over the years. If you want to order other dishes or have a small appetite, go for a small donburi (2 slices of each sashimi vs 3 for regular). |

| Review 1 | Great place for a grab and go sushi. You can customize your own sushi with a long list of ingredients they have. Love the concept and the sushi tasted delicious and fresh. The large sushi cost $9.90, a little on the high side but it comes loaded with a lot of ingredients. I would say it’s worth it. Only downside is that they make the sushi a little slow. But it was made up by the great service the staff provided. Really friendly and always smiling, kudos to that. |

| Review 1 | The Japanese dining food court here is absolutely fantastic. We ordered a variety of food items here and the quality of the food we ate was excellent. The four cheese pizza is delicious and flavourful. The Wagyu beef bento box was superb as well. Loved the flavours and the freshness of the beef was mouthwatering. Will surely be back here. The sushi was fresh and I particularly loved the smoked salmon sushi we ate. The dining hall has a nice seating arrangement as well. |
| Review 2 | Food was great. Price slightly lower than restaurant. Worth a try I would say. |
| Review 3 | Very good rice and beef, very well cooked. No vegetables, which would make the meal healthier. Japanese style, with a nice location, enough space to avoid to be too close to other people. Good place to have a quick and tasty dinner. The machines to order are a little bit counter-intuitive, being connected exclusively with their related local stands. |

| Review 1 | Made a dinner reservation for last Saturday. We didn’t regret it at all. All the fish were imported from japan and the chef took us on a culinary tour of Japan with this omakase meal. We thoroughly enjoyed the banter and talk we had with the chef at the sushi bar and were amongst the last to leave the restaurant. The ambience was nice, the decor was minimalist japanese, each dish was skillfully prepared, presented and the taste was out of this world. It made us miss Japan! The chef is really knowledgeable and passionate about his work. Though pricey, the quality is really top notch. We had no qualms about visiting the place again in near future. Keep up the good work (and food)! |
| Review 2 | This place serves very good Japanese omakase at a decent price and it was managed by a Singaporean. I had a different course from my partner. The local chef was very friendly and explain and talk to us throughout our lunch even though it was quite crowded. Will love to come back and try a different course for dinner. |
| Review 3 | This is my 3rd Omakase experience. It turns out to be an excellent one. Almost every dish never fail to surprise me. The innovative taste and freshness of the food keeps the wow factor going. The ambience is tip top too. Keep it up, my 同乡. |

Never seen a soup bowl bigger than the rice bowl. They take time to serve the food but it’s really worth the wait. Service staffs were also attentive and not to the extent that would be interrupting. Highly recommended. |
| Review 2 | Yummy fatty gindara and chicken! The roasted tea on the house complemented the food. Love the crab cream croquettes |

| Review 1 | Small restaurant and they will want to turn the tables once you’re done with your meal. Staff is friendly and attentive and will stay out of your way when you’re enjoying your meal. But once you’re done they will check if you need anything else cos there’s usually a queue outside the small restaurant. Food is pretty good. The Chirashi’s rice is very flavorful and helps make it more enjoyable than if they just use normal white Japanese rice. Would definitely go back again. |
| Review 2 | The chirashi don is fresh and generous portions of tobikko and comes with a small. O of miso soup. Ramen spiciness is just nice! |
| Review 3 | Good value for some of the dons like the chirashi but not the salmon ikura Don. The place is very small and turnover is high. So expect to eat quickly and leave because the waitress will clear your plate as soon as you’re done. |

| Review 2 | I went to work nearby last Sat, buy lunch at Makino, and order the food I want to take out. Although the price is a bit high, the unagi rice and egg really surprise me!! The half-boiled egg is just right and taste smooth, and there are a lot of thick slices of unagi. I can only say that it is so delicious, and I am touched to be nourished 💗 I may invite friends to enjoy the meal at Makino next time! |

| Review 1 | This restaurant is located within the Amoy Hotel. We had dinner here on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was pretty full. As we had made a reservation before hand, we were quickly shown to our table. Most of the items on the menu looked delicious and the prices for some items are on the higher side. The service crew were polite and highly efficient in taking our orders, serving our food and refilling our drinks. We ordered the premium Chirashi, Jin Chirashi, Aburi Chirashi, Cod Fish in clear soup Nabemono, soft shell crab tempura and the grilled squid. All dishes tasted great and fresh with the exception of thecod fish Nabemono – the flavor of the soup can be improved as it was pretty tasteless. |
| Review 2 | The sashimi is very fresh. We also love the aburi salmon salad, the chirashi bowls (the sushi rice is super yummy), the garlic fried rice and all the tofu dishes!! The ala carte cooked dishes are average so we tend to avoid ordering those. We stick to the above and are always very satisfied when we eat here. Very good with Eatigo discount. |
| Review 3 | This place is hard to find but the interior looks nice ! The soft shell crab and chirashi don are really nice and fresh. Ordered the aburi version as I rarely come across this style of chirashi. It comes with unagi and the portion is huge! So full and even though I love their rice (seems like they mixed some grains or used different type of rice) I couldn’t finish. |

| Review 1 | If you are looking for good value, fresh sushi, look nowhere but here! Love it, good value for premium quality. Meaty fresh fish, every piece of sushi was delightful. Also 80% of its clients were japanese, honed by japanese chef and waiter…so it cannot go too wrong. Highly recommended! Ordered the appetitzers and tofu salad, was refreshing! |
| Review 2 | Super energetic staffs with good service. The gentleman who took our order is very friendly and his energy level boost our happiness mood. 💕 |
| Review 3 | This was on my go to list; and WOW! Didn’t they surpass all my expectations. My friend and I visited the restaurant on the 20th of Dec and was immediately delighted by the ambiance. The food was served with detailed touches. The fish was so sweet with freshness And the house staff especially a staff named, Suman who served and waited on us was so attentive and always went the extra mile. Truly appreciate the entire experience we had there. Yes I’ll admit it is expensive but trust me it is worth your money. This was our treat for Christmas. Thank you to the staff and chef for making our experience whole. Hope to return soon. 🎉😃 |

| Review 1 | good services and fresh ingredients! Sukiyaki is slightly sweet to me. |
| Review 2 | For a place that specialises in wagyu beef, their lower priced dishes like sushi and various side dishes are actually very good too. Very fresh sushi and highly recommend the wagyu curry rice. Usually not packed during peak hour on weekends if you are reasonably early, say 6pm. |
| Review 3 | Fantastic quality ingredients. Very limited choice of beer (one, I think). Scallop caapacio is particularly good. |
Types of Sushi
Ngiri – Some slices of fish served up over the sushi rice.
Maki – Fish wrapped with rice or wrapped with seaweed.
Uramaki – Fish which gets covered with seaweed using rice over to cover.
Temaki – Hand-rolled sushi using cone form.
Sashimi – Fish that gets served out with no rice or seaweed.
Can Sushi be served in cooked form?
If you are just starting with sushi, you could start out just by tasting the cooked versions.
Certain variations, forms of sushi come in cooked form.
For example, the California roll has imitation crab which gets seasoned over with avocado or cucumber.
When you get sushi which is topped up with eel, this is usually cooked.
Could Sushi transmit viruses, bacteria?
You could fall sick, get ill from eating sushi when you take in bacteria or viruses embedded in raw fish.
Over in USA, it remains less likely that one gets ill from taking in bacteria contamination from freshwater fish.
Fish which gets wrapped up in sushi poses some similar risks of bacterial contamination that could get passed out to humans by alternate forms of meat.
Sushi Grade Fish
No hard, strict standards apply to the use of general branding ‘sushi-grade fish’.
Upon the label being used at a shop, this just signals that such fish remains of top-notch quality, or that one may easily eat it raw without worries.
Fish get flash-frozen upon fishing boat just upon reeling in catch, that purges existing parasites which the fish could contain .
Sushi has a remarkably interesting history, and is a delectable dish which many people love.
You could sample boxed sushi on offer over from some random shop, beginning with forms that seem more palatable, then experimenting more with different varied sushi types.
If you are an adventurous eater, you could opt to get high-quality sushi-grade fish, extra rice vinegar, rice, or seaweed wraps for those seeking to craft home made sushi.
Sushi fish may come raw. Certain forms of seafood ingredients within sushi not usually raw are: Crabsticks, Unagi(eel), Crayfish, Shrimp, Smoked Salmon, Lobster, or Soft-Shell Crab.
Several sushi ingredients which are raw are : Salmon, Tuna, Albacore, Spicy Tuna, Shrimp, Sea Urchin, Fish eggs of Smelt/ Flying Fish/ Salmon (Masago /Tobiko/ Ikura), Escoral, Mackerel, Clam/Oyster, Red Snapper.
Non seafood sushi: Thin strips of Japanese pickles with radish, Carrot, Daikon, or Eggplant getting mixed over fast cooked asparagus, avocado, or Sesame Seeds.
This gets cooked up with Ponzu Sauce cooked with Soy Sauce, that is often cooked using ginger, orange, kombu (Savory Seaweed) or bonito (A Fermented Dried Fish which tastes savory, light) then next sifted.
Overall flavors of raw/cooked fish are very distinct. Certain sushi gets frozen to below 40 degrees, purging all parasites. When it gets cooked well, it remains just as edible as cooked sushi.
The sushi covered up with scoop of rice topped up with slices of raw fish is termed nigiri.
Slices of raw fish with no rice-wrapping are called sashimi.
