To start the Dobin Mushi with Lobster and Shiitake Mushrooms is a celebration of delicate flavours and textures. Served in a clay pot, the clear soup is infused with the subtle essence of lobster and earthy shiitake mushrooms, offering a harmonious balance of umami notes.
The Lobster Sashimi is a testament to the chef’s skill and expertise. The lobster is sliced paper-thin, allowing its natural sweetness and brininess to shine through. Served with a touch of wasabi and soy sauce, each bite is a burst of freshness and flavour.
The highlight of the meal came in the form of a nine-compartment box, standouts include:
- Yuanyaki – Salmon Belly: Grilled to perfection, the salmon belly is rich, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a delightful smoky char that adds depth to the flavor.
- Uni – Fresh Sea Urchin: Served in a pristine nine-compartment box, the uni is creamy, briny, and utterly luxurious, with a rich, custard-like texture that melts on the tongue.
- Scallops from Hokkaido: Plump and succulent, the scallops are perfectly seared to caramelised perfection, with a sweet, buttery flavor that is simply irresistible.
- Otoro – Tuna Blue Fin: Sliced to perfection, the Otoro practically melts in your mouth, with a rich, buttery texture and a subtle, yet complex flavor profile.
The Sake Tasting at Daniel Sushi is a journey through some of Japan’s finest offerings.

To end the meal on a high note, the Japanese Crown Melon in Hibiki Whisky is a true indulgence. Sweet, juicy, and perfectly ripe, the Crown Melon is elevated to new heights with a drizzle of Hibiki Whisky, providing a fitting conclusion to a truly memorable dining experience at Danieru Sushi.
