With my favourite Chinese restaurant located in Kano (Nigeria), it no more than right that my favourite sushibar should be located right here in Falkenberg (Sweden)!

A few days after arriving, my father, Hanna and I had been shopping at Gekås, and coming back to Falkenberg, my father took us out for dinner. After nine months in a landlocked country, fish was the obvious choice!

Tommy who runs the sushi bar is a very friendly man with an intriguing life story.

He is very careful about the ingredients that he uses and his menu varies with the seasons, which reminds me of Africa. Food is supposed to come in seasons, but in our modern society, availability is often more important the taste, and so quality is compromised. At this sushibar, you will have to enjoy your favourites while they last, and when a particular fish or seafood cannot be aquired fresh anymore, you will simply have to wait until the next season, for Tommy is not one to prepare delicious art with frozen ingredients.

My personal favourite is the avocado-crab rolls, but so with so many varieties to choose from, my favourites may change with the seasons!

This time, there was no tuna, and I’m not sure we had eal either, but we had salmon, shrimps and lots of rolls with avocado…

Starting off with soup

…then adding gari (pickled ginger) and wasabi (japanese horseradish).

My father worked hard to convince Hanna to dip her sushi in the wasabi, which is hot in the typically horseradish mannor, but enhances the taste rather than kills it. He did get her as far as to try it, but she thought it stung too much and I doubt he won her over…

It was a lovely evening, and tonight, my sister, Hanna and I are going back for a second round. Will Hanna try the wasabi again? Only time will tell!
