I think Wild Ginger is just part of my routine now. Moving is hard and sushi is the perfect treat for getting things done.

I’ve been wanting to get sushi again since the last time I bought it so now I’m just finding any time to treat myself and today is that day. I’ve successfully moved all of my stuff to the apartment and this week we’re working on moving Calebs things after work so it’s gonna be a long week. Which means sushi.
Today I decided to forego my favorite Ebi and ordered two different pieces instead. I went with the Ika (squid) and the Tomago (egg) which is my friend Christel’s favorite. Every time I order it I think of her and her love for eggs. My roll this time was the shrimp tempura roll which is where I snuck in some shrimp for myself. Not that I wouldn’t eat an ebi on top of this.
The shrimp tempura roll was pretty standard. Very good but nothing surprising in terms of flavor. It didn’t wow me but it also didn’t disappoint. This shrimp tempura comes with avocado and cucumber so it had a nice crunch and the textures were all there for it. I’ve been playing around with the sushi pieces trying to nail down my favorites (aside from the ebi) and today’s choices didn’t disappoint at all. I was a little worried about the Ika that it might be a little tough but the way it was scored and the cut was amazing. This just melted in my mouth and had so much good, fresh flavor without being too chewy. Much better than the surf clam and I may add it to my favorite with the ebi from now on. The tomago was also really good. My egg to rice ratio was quite comical and I wish i had taken a photo but I had about a 1:2 ratio of rice to egg and it would’ve been much more satisfying to just get a little more sushi rice in there. I love rice and the balance helps sometimes. The tomago was also a great texture that just melts in your mouth. Sweet and easy to eat for sure. I know why Christal likes it and while it’s hasn’t made it to my top list of sushi choices, I’d never turn it down.
Thus ends another delicious order of sushi from Wild Ginger. I’m already looking forward to eating here again.
