There are a number of places for sushi in Weston-super-Mare and after doing some research decided we would visit Sakura Finest on the Boulevard. They had a good gluten free offer. They don’t really have an online presence, so I actually went there to check the gluten free options and to book a table. They limit the number of covers they do, so to ensure that everyone has a better experience; over filling the place with people.
On the day itself, we arrived a little early and were given a warm welcome, we took our seats and poured over the menu. There was a lot of choice. I found it difficult to make a decision but got there in the end.
I had some tempura soft shell crab maki.
This was a beautifully presented dish. The crab had a crispy tempura batter and tasted of crab. They were delicious.
I also had a portion of Tori Kuwayaki, crispy chicken in a teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds.
We had this made gluten free. I did think the salad garnish was a little bit on the large side. The chicken was tender and tasty.
I had some maguro (tuna) nigiri.
The nigiri was presented lovely, and looked fantastic. The tuna was lovely and fresh.
Feeling a little peckish, we ordered some more sushi, and this time I had some hokigai (surf clam) nigiri.
It was very interesting, and I was intrigued about the dish. It again was beautifully presented. The clam was a little chewy, but it was tasty.
Overall we had a delicious meal.
