Review Pelanggan untuk Sushi Matsu - Hotel Cemara

#wassabi, minna-san!

We had a slightly high expectation for this place, considering it is one of the most frequented #sushi joints by the Jakarta's one percent. At least according to its own Instagram.

Let's start with the Nigiri.

Rice is cooked almost perfectly, tantalizing our taste buds just right with stickiness game on point, but it is a wee bit too moist causing the overall sensation to fall on the just above average scale.

The salmon is fresher than the ones served in most other places, and that truly means a lot knowing how a myriad of Japanese establishments can really confuse anyone in this city. The slice is not as generous as one might expect, though.

As a result, the taste is somewhat not as great as seemingly endorsed by its regulars, but definitely we will tell our friends about it at least once, just to let them know that they do have an option next time they are in the vicinity.

On the other hand, the Mentai Aburi is excellent, it was grilled to perfection with arguably the best technique in town. And the choices of Mentaiko really get the job done in securing this plate as the highlight of our visit.

Now, on with the Maki.

Unfortunately the Nori is mediocre at best, to say the crispness is barely there would be overstating the obvious. Eventually, we have a hard time trying to differentiate this plate from the one typically found in sushi counters at the local supermarkets. Sorry not sorry.

For the Temaki, we find the sub-par quality of Nori really dragging everything else down. Although if you took away the Nori from the equation, it is actually that so much better. Yet almost the whole point of Temaki is in the Nori, so this does not look good at all.

For the Ikura Gunkan, the larger than average roe are truly on another level. Each one explodes inside your mouth with every bite, spoiling your tongue with intriguing saltiness rarely experienced in this side of the equator.

As for the Inari, we do not sense even the slightest trace of bitterness that is usually found in most other places offering it, which is perfect. But the pouch sure could use a little more craftmanship still.

Our #SushiScore (on a scale of 1.00 to 11.00):
Rice 7.00
Freshness 8.00
Taste 7.75

And definitely a YES to minimal one Repeat Visit.
