Yo Sushi, A Quick Lunch

  Now there's nothing too exciting about this post.  Nothing very special happened, and the food was pretty basic.  However, it's Yo! Sushi and I love it there.  I always enjoy my meal, and I always eat too much.

   On this particular day all of my plans fell through.  I was in the city centre and freezing.  My husband and I just happened to pass and see that it was quite quiet inside.  We were sat right away in a booth, which I prefer to the bar.  We both asked for cups of green tea to help us warm up.  The tea we received immediately to the delight of my cold cold hands.
    The first item to be removed from the belt was, as always, the edamame beans.  I love them.  They are just lightly salted and perfectly sweet.  The husband is not a fan so I get them to myself.

    Next I grabbed a Tamago which is a sweet Japanese omelette.  I adore the tamago.  It's one of my favourite things in Japanese cuisine. Once again, my husband does not enjoy this particular dish.

Delightful Tamago

 

   Shortly after I finished my tamago,the husband pulled the beef nigiri off the belt.  The beef is quite rare and has a dollop of mayo in the centre. This is one of his favourites off the belt, but is one I am not a fan of.

   We then decided to order a few hot items that we did not see coming around the belt.  We each ordered a dish of the Pumpkin Korroke, my husband order the Chili Beef Udon from their winter menu and I ordered the Crab Onigiri. As we waited for our items an item came along on the belt.  A favoured item.  The one item we both could eat until we died.  The Grilled Eel Nigiri.  This is my all time favourite sushi item from Yo Sushi.  The sweet glaze with the perfectly cooked eel is delightful. We adore it, and were thrilled to see it come along.

   Shortly after the eel was devoured our pumpkin appeared, as did my husbands hot soup.  I adore the pumpkin korroke.  It's another one of those items that I just cannot get enough of.  It's a purred pumpkin mixture with onions and I honestly don't know what else.  This mixture is breaded in panko crumbs, and fried until crisp.  It is then drizzled with a fruity katsu sauce.  I could drink the katsu sauce.  I really could.  It is delightful!

  Now for the Chili Beef Udon.  Now as I am not a fan of red meat, I did not try it personally.  It was gobbled though.  He normally gets the duck version, but he now prefers the beef.  The broth had more flavour, and the meat was a better quality.

   Now, you may be wondering about my Crab Onigiri.  Well, it never arrived.  When we asked a different member of staff about it we were told that they didn't have any.  I was so disappointed.  It sounded so tasty, and I was so looking forward to it.  I ended up ordering another dish of the pumpkin korroke.  So there was a bit of miscommunication amongst the staff on that day. 
   After I finished my second helping of pumpkin and my husband his second helping of beef nigiri, it was time for dessert.  We always get the Dorayaki.  This is a Japanese pancake with a custard filling and is served with a raspberry coulis.  It is so delightful.  Very simple, but my favourite Yo! dessert.

   This was one of our better dining experiences at Yo! Sushi.  Not to say that they are ever bad.  We always enjoy our food, it was just the best experience we have had in awhile.  Even though I missed out on my crab!
