Fish Mart Sakuraya

This is always Mike's choice when we are deciding what to have for dinner at parkway parade. Place there serve very fresh sashimi at a very reasonable price. If you have been there before, you know it is not exactly a restaurant but more like a japanese mart with wooden tables squeezed at the back of the store. Yo do not find typical japanese menu in this place as they serve mainly sashimi, assorted maki & hand roll. Like at a real fish market, the chunks of fresh fish are displayed in the counter refrigerator and you choose the pieces that you like the most and they will bring it over to your table once the chefs have properly prepared the sashimi.

Initially they started with like 3-4 small tables, but as of today, the shop has converted almost half of its size to accommodate the increasing no. of customers. The types of sashimi available varies from week to week and season to season. Fresh sashimi comes in twice a week in tue & fri. On these days, this place will be packed with customers so be sure to come early. Few of our usual selections are salmon belly, swordfish, amber jack, see bream. Sometime we get seasonal items like sanma, half beak, sea urchin, geo duck, huge clam and many more..

We went there again yesterday and tried a new sashimi of half beak (see translucent flesh top right in the pic). The meat is surprisingly sweet & unexpectedly crunchy. This plate of sashimi cost around $80++ and I supposed it will easily cost over $100 at other exquisite japanese restaurants.

One of my favorite ~ unagi hand roll 

If you’re a fan of sashimi, this is a great place to be ;)
