First started out as an online grocer for fresh sashimi-grade fish, Soshinsen is both a restaurant and wholesaler of fresh air flown fish from Japan.
.
The sashimi was fresh, both Salmon ($5.80) and Salmon Belly ($7.80), not too fishy, and came with generous thick slices. Chawanmushi ($4) was of a reasonable standard and the Salmon Oyaku Don ($16.80) was pretty decent. We also tried the Gyudon ($14.80) which was served with generous portion of beef. For maximum enjoyment be sure to mix the onsen egg consistently around the entire bowl.
.
The Salmon Mentai Nigiri ($2) was good too! Thick slices of salmon and torched salmon tartar lies atop fluffy sushi rice. What impressed us was the Aburi Salmon Maki ($10.80) - blowtorched to perfection with a strong smoky flavour! The mayo and salmon exuded such peaty aroma that each mouthful felt fresh off the grill. The avocado mixed well with the soft half-grilled salmon and warm rice, made for a party in the mouth.
.
Lastly, the Yuzu Cider ($5.90) was a pleasant alcohol-free refresher rich in yuzu aroma with a mild sweetness, while delivering a fresh and clear aftertaste.
.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re at Hougang Mall, because The Midtown is just a short walk away!
