Had dinner at Takenaka and ordered the Takenaka Best 11pcs and the nigiri was very delicious! The maki rolls were very bland, not fun at all. Got two pcs with only rice filled with rice and some egg? Very boring. Ate with four other people, we all thought the same, there's better sushi in Halmstad for cheaper! Another thing was that you'd expect to get some seagrass and even edamame on your plate for that price range? But no, only "wasabi" and ginger. The maki rolls were also very big, with a thick layer of rice around ...
The hostess was friendly at arrival but the rest of the service was not super, could have served us chopsticks and bowl for soy sauce like every other place has prepared on the table when you sit down to eat.

Read moreHalmstad's own authentic sushi brought to you by a Japanese chef. Unlike many other "sushi" places in Sweden where the food is prepared by non-Japanese Asians, which often only offer you salmon, below-average-quality tuna, cooked tiger shrimp and avocado on top of a large chunk of rice, this place offers many unusual (but extremely tasty) options of sushi that you would not find else where in Sweden. I was very impressed to find torched langoustine and akagai on display. Sure that it is a bit more pricey than the cheap Chinese/Vietnamese/Thai sushi but it is worth every extra krona.
