Japanese Food in Philly 🍣 Who Says Philly Doesn’t Have Fresh

Last week, my friends and I visited this cozy family-run Japanese restaurant in New Jersey—just a 15-minute drive from downtown Philadelphia. As someone who had never found truly satisfying Japanese food in Philly, this little spot felt like discovering a hidden treasure 🌟 From sukiyaki hotpot 🍲 and tempura rice bowls 🍤 to seafood sashimi rice bowls, they have it all! But the real star here is their uni (sea urchin)—incredibly fresh, creamy, with a hint of sweetness and zero fishy aftertaste. Just for the uni sushi alone, I’d come back again and again! 🏠 Sagami Japanese Restaurant 📍 Address: 37 Crescent Blvd, Collingswood, NJ 08108 💰 Price per person: $30–60 🌟 CHIRASHI (Sashimi Rice Bowl) Generous portions of super fresh sashimi! The toro (fatty tuna) totally blew me away—rich, buttery, and paired perfectly with freshly grated wasabi and vinegared rice. The scallops were also amazing: firm, sweet, and so good I immediately ordered an extra scallop sushi! 🌟 SUKIYAKI Hotpot Highly recommended! Hearty portions of meat and veggies in a slightly sweet, savory broth. Perfect for cold days—my favorites were the glass noodles and napa cabbage soaked in that delicious sauce. 🌟 UNI (Sea Urchin) At $9 per piece, the uni sushi is an absolute steal. Uni lovers, don’t miss out—order several! 🎉 #PhillyEats #NJFood #JapaneseFood #UniLover #SashimiBowl #Sukiyaki #FoodDiscovery
