Tyson Japanese Canteen Salmon Donburi 🍣 Sea Urchin Sashimi

Right downstairs from the metro station, this Japanese spot is perfect for after work – so close and so delicious! The salmon sashimi donburi is absolutely mouthwatering! One serving feels like it could fill you up more than three or four plates elsewhere! The nine-piece sashimi platter is also super fresh! I’ve heard some people say the portions are small… but when it arrived, it was huge! Who’s spreading these rumors? Hahaha! I even took it home and had another meal the next day! If you have a small appetite, don’t order too much! 1️⃣ Taste Of Umi 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This menu item apparently changes! Lately, it’s been Maine sea urchin (pretty sweet with no odd taste! Some other Japanese places I’ve been to had stale sea urchin!). Special mention to their tuna – it literally melts in your mouth with a rich, fatty texture! First time I’ve ever had it like this! They also have a fried dish that might have sea urchin in it – super yummy! I thought it was fried pork chop with cheese, but it turned out to be seafood flavored! 2️⃣ Eel Lovers 🌟🌟🌟✨ The portion is thick and substantial! I wanted to order their signature unagi rice, but the owner recommended this instead, saying it’s quite similar. It was really good! They didn’t skimp on the ingredients just because it’s a smaller dish. 3️⃣ Sake Don 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Salmon donburi! There are four types of salmon sashimi, the belly is a bit oily, the semi-cooked one is just right, crispy outside and tender inside, with a little bit of spicy salmon salad on top! 4️⃣ Takoyaki 🌟🌟🌟 The octopus balls are pretty standard, but they give a lot of bonito flakes! Hahaha, I love bonito flakes! Who else gets it? #SavorTheFlavor #JapaneseCuisine #dmvfoodie #dmvfoodandfun #dmvfood #dmv #DMV #WashingtonDCFood #DCFoodExploration #dmvweekendplans
