Philly·Spring Date Spots | From Otoro to Uni: Details of Deliciousness
I’ve tried many omakase sushi places in Philly, and they almost always leave me so full that I need to lean on the wall to leave. When I saw that Kichi offers a smaller course, I decided to give it a try. To my pleasant surprise, the value for money is quite good here. Even girls with smaller appetites can feel full without needing to order extra. The location is also easy to book; you can usually get a reservation the day before or even on the same day. The chefs are quite talkative, so you can chat while enjoying your meal. The restaurant has two floors; sometimes the lower level is used for parties, while the upper level is quieter. Three Courses of Sake Dishes: Sweet Shrimp 🦐: The shrimp is tender and pairs beautifully with caviar, offering a fresh and rich flavor. Aged Tuna: Perfect for those who don’t like overly rich dishes. Octopus 🐙: Also tender, with a delicate texture. Madai 🌟🌟🌟: Delicate in texture with a subtle, fresh fragrance. The skin-on, seared version adds more layers of flavor, perfect for savoring slowly. King Salmon 🌟🌟🌟🌟: The freshness of the ingredients is top-notch. The salmon has a uniform distribution of fat, making it smooth and velvety in texture. Otoro 🌟🌟🌟🌟: Extremely rich and buttery, almost melting in your mouth with a gelatinous texture. It’s the dream fish for those who love fatty flavors. Kanpachi 🌟🌟🌟: The fish is firm and elastic, with a clean and slightly sweet flavor. It’s a lighter fish, perfect for the freshness of spring. Hotate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟: Tender and slightly sweet, with a mild and clear ocean flavor. It’s delicate and layered, making it a standout dish. #PhillyEats #PhillyDateSpots #PhillyDateIdeas
