You've always loved their ramen. Now you'll love their sushi too...
Fresh and premium seafood meticulously handcrafted into sushi perfection alongside their signature ramen specialties, Nagi Sushi raises the bar once more in the ramen dining experience paired with exquisite sushi. And the best way to enjoy the Nagi Sushi experience is with the Premium Set 3 with eight kinds of sushi. Game?
Long known for its line of signature ramen creations, Ramen Nagi expands its portfolio of culinary offerings with Nagi Sushi. The latest innovation from the brand offers the finest and freshest seafood paired with their specialty ramen for a hearty Japanese feast (for more on Nagi Sushi, see my post Sumptuous Ramen and Exquisite Sushi in One Place. At Nagi Sushi by The Nagi Group...from the opening late last year).
Nagi Sushi offers three Premium Set options, and the Premium Set 3 (P 1,280 Sushi Only/P 1,580 with Butao) offers an extensive selection of sushi to fully experience and appreciate the quality of the seafood. Premium tuna, hamachi, unagi and salmon becomes the flavorful base for the delicately elegant sushi creations of Nagi Sushi in one set.
As with many Japanese dishes, the beauty lies in the intricate details teasing the eyes before the palate. Each sushi creation is gently brushed with soy so there's no need to dip it in the sauce allowing you to enjoy the fresh and clean briny sweetness of the seafood in its purest form. The tiny bowl of Katsuo-Don with tuna and leeks on soft rice drizzled with soy starts your Nagi Sushi dining experience with its bold yet subtle flavors.
The Torotaku Temaki at the far end of the wooden board with minced medium fatty tuna topped with pickled daikon radish brings vibrant notes of contrasting flavors capped by the delicate crunch of the nori. The pickled daikon radish tempers the richness of the medium fatty tuna for that refined and balanced finish.
Next, the Katsuo Nigiri or straw-flamed bonito topped with a pinch of scallions treats your palate with its deep flavors and silky soft texture. Gently brushed with soy, all the flavors are packed in the Katsuo Nigiri with its briny sweetness enhanced by just a hint of salty notes. The sheer elegance in its simplicity perfectly captures the flavors of the ocean in one bite.
The Unagi Nigiri drapes the palate with the buttery richness and fresh lingering sweetness of the eel for another luxurious expression of the resident sushi master's art...
...while the light and delicate flavors of the Hamachi Nigiri brings a bright burst of freshness reflecting the diverse yet nuanced range of flavors with the Premium Set 3 of Nagi Sushi.
The Chutoro Nigiri or bluefin medium fatty tuna brings an elegant richness with each bite, releasing even more intense notes as it slowly melts in your mouth.
More intense flavors from the Akami Nigiri or bluefin lean tuna treats the palate with its more pronounced and rounded yet clean flavors. As you bite your way through the Premium Set 3 selection, it slowly sinks in that this is perhaps some of the best and finest sushi and seafood in the metro.
That final bite is celebrated with the creamy Salmon Nigiri. Each bite is an elegant progression of real and natural flavors driven by its freshness. From that first bite all the way to the last, Nagi Sushi showcases the freshest premium catch for an elevated sushi experience.
The clean flavors from the Premium Set 3 sets your palate for the equally rich Butao, the award-winning tonkotsu pork broth by Ramen Nagi with soft yet firm handcrafted noodles and Nagi pork chashu prepared in the classic ramen tradition.
The metro offers countless options for both ramen and sushi. But few offer the unique dining experience of Nagi Sushi. Did you say ramen? And sushi? Find it at Nagi Sushi...
