Jazushi
Review: Wednesday18th April 2012
The thing I like most about Jazushi is the food. It sounds like it should be obvious... after all a restaurant serving good food can hardly be ground-breaking! However in the drive to find something new and interesting often the food can be left behind, a reticent understudy, as ambience and innovation become the stars of the show.
And Jazushi certainly does provide ambience and innovation. Jazz and sushi... a seemingly unlikely mix that works so well together you wonder why all sushi doesn’t come with a trio playing in the background. The atmosphere in the front room where we are seated is modern yet cosy. It is a place to come with friends and share a meal. And at the heart of it all is a menu, simple and small, yet bursting with excitement.
“What do you want to order?”, someone asks.
“Everything” is the only possible response.
Sambar & Beer
Today a friend of mine mixed together Sambar (a South Indian
lentil-based dish), beer (Corona to be specific) and a dash of Equal for
me to try. Reminding me of the days of my youth, where we sat as
children mixing up the remains of our drinks and food into one giant
"King's Cup" for an unsuspecting victim to try... I decided to embrace
my newfound willingness to try things out of my comfort zone and gave it
a shot. It was disgusting. Equal is not to my taste. Do not try this at
home kids...
