No more trying to call the waiter’s eye and demand to know what’s taking your food so long. Because Aajisai, on the 5th floor of Quest Mall, offers India's first ever sushi conveyor belt.
Well, we know all the weebs and otakus must be itching to go to this fine dining restaurant and have their fair share of Japan in Kolkata. You can choose between getting your food served through the conveyor belt or experience the live teppanyaki counter. The interiors are regal to say the least, predominant with steel, glass and metal.
Some of the highlights and must-haves include the teppanyaki sets, nigiri, sushi, maki, temaki, gunkan and ramen! You can start your meal with appetisers from the deep fried section like Pork Katsu, Suzuki Karaage, Tofu Katsu, Chicken Karaage, etc., tempura, gyoza and yakitori. The number of yakitori (Japanese skewers) options will leave you spoilt for choice, such as the Buta Negima Yakitori (grilled pork and leeks on skewers).
Seafood lovers should definitely try the sashimi, nigiri, temaki and sushi. You will get options in octopus, mackerel, squid, seabass and salmon, in the sashimi section. Try something unique with the Unagi Nigiri (nigiris are hand rolled sushis in which raw fish slices are layered atop vinegared rice balls), which are cooked eel nigiri with teriyaki sauce. In case you want to try temaki, you have options like avocado, asparagus, Maguro (sliced tuna) and Shake (salmon) Temaki.
