TGIF aburi sushi & unagi tamagoyaki takeaway ($24.70)!
Aburi salmon belly, torched scallop and unagi sushi with sesame — plus a tray of unagi tamagoyaki rolls — takeaway for a TGIF lunch. $24.70.
TGIF treat-yourself lunch — picked up a sushi takeaway haul and ate it back at home with the BB. 🍣😋
Two boxes of joy:
Aburi sushi platter:
- Aburi salmon belly with masago — the fatty side of salmon torched till the edges glistened, topped with a tiny pile of orange roe. Buttery, smoky, almost decadent.
- Aburi scallop — sweet plump scallop with a thin char-line from the blowtorch. Melts on the tongue.
- Unagi sushi with sesame — sweet glazed eel over rice, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. Reliable comfort.
Unagi tamagoyaki rolls:
- Cute little rolls of sweet Japanese omelette wrapped around strips of glazed unagi — six pieces in the box. Soft, sweet-savoury, perfect with rice or on their own.
Total: $24.70. For aburi-grade sushi at home, fair enough.
Overall: 4.2 / 5. The aburi salmon belly was the standout. Travelled well too — not a single squashed piece. Already on the list for the next TGIF. 😍👍🏼
