Nigiri di Kobe A4 Flambé
This Kobe A4 flambéed nigiri is basically a little caramel that melts in your mouth — it's the only meat nigiri that makes sense to exist.
Nigiri con Gambero Rosso Crudo, Foglie di Wasabi e Tartufo
This is absolutely my favorite — the red shrimp is buttery and sweet, with these wasabi leaves that hit really hard. The truffle adds an incredible depth.
Nigiri con Uova di Quaglia, Patata Nera e Asparagi
The moment you burst the yolk and then do 'scarpetta' in its red — the egg and asparagus is a natural pairing, and the black potato to balance the saltiness is wonderful.
Nigiri con Capasanta Burro e Lemon Zest
The scallop is incredibly buttery and the lemon zest is insane — it's just perfect.
Roll con Butterfish, Lemon Zest e Acciughe
A perfect mix between acidity, freshness, and saltiness — the butterfish with lemon zest and anchovies works beautifully.
