Food Review - Salmon Chirashi

Today I'm going to write a review about one of my favorite menus ever, salmon chirashi, or salmon don. Salmon chirashi is a type of Japanese food with sushi meshi (sushi rice) in a bowl and salmon sashimi layered on top. I've tried this dish in at least three restaurants, and today I'm going to compare the same menu from three different places, which are Sushi Den, Aoi, and Skip.

In Sushi Den, the salmon chirashi comes with fish o roes (salmon eggs). I think that it's the perfect addition to the salmon sashimi, it completes the whole thing. I personally like mine with a little bit of shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) and wasabi. Imagine the taste of salmon combining perfectly with the small explosion of salmon eggs on your tongue, it's literally paradise in your mouth.

The second restaurant that I'm going to talk about is Aoi. In Aoi, the salmon chirashi also comes with fish o roes but in a smaller amount as those of Sushi Den's. Aoi focuses more on the salmon, it is splendid. As compared to Sushi Den's, it is still arguable but it might not be as fresh.

The final restaurant that I'm going to review about is Skip. Skip is a small shop located inside U-Centre in Sam Yan area. It might not be as well known as Sushi Den and Aoi but it is still quite popular among Chula students. To be honest, I think Skip's salmon chirashi is incomparable to those of the previous two restaurants I've talked about. The salmon isn't fresh, the rice isn't vinegared enough, and there is nothing to accompany the salmon. But considering the price of the menu, it is still acceptable and understandable.

In conclusion, I prefer Sushi Den's salmon chirashi best. It gives the most heavenly taste out of the three. It leaves you longing for more. I highly recommend you to try it, you won't regret. My second favorite is Aoi. It might not be as marvelous Sushi Den's, but it is still pretty good. My least favorite is Skip. I don't think it compliments my taste senses good enough.
