Dinner at Sjömagasinet

In the tradition of food-blogging which I only did once so far, I have to write about our visit to the restaurant “Sjömagasinet” yesterday. Unfortunately the tasting menu in combination with the wine package was already sold out but we did our best to combine a nice variation by ourselves. Leif Mannerström’s restaurant Sjömagasinet actually holds one star in the Guide Michelin - and rightly so!

Butter fried white asparagus with browned hazelnut vinaigrette and Pata Negra Bellota
Riesling Trocken 2006, Keller

Variation of veal – lightly smoked brisket, fillet and sweetbread
Savigny-lès-Beaune 1:er Cru, Les Laviéres 2005, Bouchard Père & Fils

Rhubarb tartar with vanilla crème filled doughnut and rhubarb sorbet
Sauternes, Castelnau de Suduiraut 2003, Jean-Michel Cazes

CURICO VALLEY Conde de Superunda 2001, Miguel Torres

All dishes very delicious and combined with good wines, service excellent, great location and very good company.

The perfect Dinner!

Yamato – The best Sushi in Göteborg?

Yes I believe so! We went there today and I was just overwhelmed by the quality of the ingredients and the talents of the itamae Kazuko. She made definitely the best Sushi I ever had in my life. I would not consider myself as some sort of Sushi expert but I’ve tested quite a few of the ~50 sushi bars here in Göteborg. How many of these bars can state that they have a Japanese itamae? Yamato can, this is not just one of the various sushi bars here in town it’s more of a Japanese restaurant. The only competing restaurant in that area is Koto but Yamato plays on a higher level not only regarding the Sushi. One of the things which often divides the god ones from the bad ones is the sushi rice, at Yamato the rice had a delicate aroma and flavor. This was absolutely not the last time at the Yamato, it feels more like the beginning of a tradition and I finally found my favorite sushi place in town. Thumbs up for Yamato!
