New York's Sushi Akira
Went to the super popular Sushi Akira in NY last night ๐. As soon as I entered, I started looking for the sushi chef. ๐ฟ At first, I couldn't find her and thought she wasn't working today. Later, I realized she was the cool-looking woman with short hair right next to me ๐. She wasn't in charge of our half of the table though ๐. ๐ฟI rushed to the restaurant and as soon as I sat down, the first appetizer blew me away ๐. The thin and crispy tart shell paired with the delicate liver pรขtรฉ (I'm not exactly sure what it was, I didn't listen carefully during the introduction...) was quite unique. The sushi was just as I had expected. I'm not sure how to translate this exactly, but it's a type of shrimp โ it was so creamy! The dessert was also delicious. ๐ฟ The refreshing tea sauce on the pudding cut through the sweetness perfectly, making for a very satisfying finish ๐บ. Overall, it was a great experience. I had an 18-course meal and didn't feel stuffed at all ๐. #omakase ๐ฃ๐ฟ
