This fall, Sushi Tei is set to unveil an unforgettable culinary experience with their new seasonal menu, Aki. Delving into the depths of Japan’s time-honoured culinary tradition, three exceptional ingredients take the spotlight: Arita Wagyu, Cherry Hirame, and Engawa.
The Arita Wagyu, imported from Miyazaki Prefecture has a harmonious distribution of fat that imparts an ethereal flavour.
These exceptional cattle are nourished with a carefully curated diet comprising ten different grains and four varieties of self-cultivated pasture grasses, with further hydration from the pristine waters of Mount Osuzu.
The A4 grade chuck roll is showcased in the Arita Wagyu Saikoro Don ($28.80), where it is cubed, pan-seared and served with a savoury sauce.
This delectable beef is accompanied by fluffy rice tossed with garlic, spring onion, and edible star flower petals.
Hailing from a fish farm on the enchanting Iki Island in Nagasaki Prefecture, the Cherry Hirame derives its unique flavor from a diet enriched with cherry powder and extracts.
This fish is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with iron and vitamins. Savor the Cherry Hirame Sashimi ($20.80) to experience its remarkable freshness and subtle sweet-tangy contrast.
Another must-try ingredient is the Engawa, sourced from the tail fin muscles of a flounder. With a satisfying mouthfeel and an intensifying flavor profile, it is a rich source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
The Engawa Unagi Chirashi Don ($16.80) showcases torched halibut fin complementing glazed premium eel, while superfood avocado adds creaminess and a nutty undertone.
The Renkon Lobster Salad Roll ($14.80) offers tantalizing lobster salad atop each block of eel and cucumber sushi roll, garnished with sliced fried lotus root for a visually stunning presentation.
Additional delights on the menu include the Maitake Tempura ($7.80), known in Japan for its healing properties and rich in antioxidants, vitamins B and C, and amino acids.
For a fusion of East and West, indulge in the Truffle Okonomiyaki ($9.80), a hearty savory pancake featuring squid and wheat flour batter elevated with aromatic truffle paste and a drizzle of mayonnaise.
To complement this culinary journey, sip on the refreshing Momo Sparkling Jelly Sake ($6.80), a unique liqueur with a 3% alcoholic strength and a jelly-like texture, featuring a delightful fizziness and sweet peach notes.
Conclude the meal on a high note with the Brûlée Ice Cream ($6.80) where you crack the caramelized sugar glaze to reveal a bed of creamy Japanese ice cream for an indulgent finish.
Sushi Tei’s Aki menu will be available from now until 12 December 2023 so visit an outlet near you to try it for yourself today. For more information, visit www.sushitei.com
