Kai Sushi β Seasonal Shirako (Cod Milt) in Chicago π
Itβs cod milt (shirako) season, and Iβve been craving it β but many Chicago sushi spots stick to the basics. Luckily, Danny San at Kai Sushi got some in and called me over! π½ Shirako two ways: βͺοΈ Lightly torched with dashi broth βͺοΈ Tempura-fried As a uni lover, Iβm obsessed with shirako β creamy, delicate, and deeply savory.ππ Iβd already eaten before arriving, so Danny scaled down the omakase β normally around 10 courses. If you want shirako, ask ahead β they usually have it only on weekends. π The other Chicago spot currently serving shirako is Q Sushi, which has a nicer ambiance (Kai feels more like a takeout spot). But Kai offers more flexibility β theyβll tailor courses to your taste.
