It was a very special day for myself and my Mr recently, as we celebrated our second wedding anniversary. So, with love in the air and a gentle rumble in our bellies, we headed to the fantastic Shiki Japanese Restaurant in Tombland, Norwich.
If you share our love for sushi, you’ll be excited to hear that every Monday evening is Sushi Night at Shiki! That means all-you-can-eat sushi, made to order over a two hour sitting for £27 per head.
Yep, you heard that right; all-you-can-eat sushi ❤ five words that make me grin from ear to ear while I fantasise about dunking lush, flavoursome fish draped over lightly seasoned rice, into a generous slick of soy and wasabi. Or, a snuggly packed maki full of spicy tuna, creamy avocado and crisp cucumber, rolled up and dredged with savoury, nutty sesame seeds.
Yum.
Shiki’s Sushi Night is a truly special event, with little paper chits to fill in with your orders from a special menu that features a fantastic selection of Nigiri, Maki, sides and hot dishes from the Kitchen. Boom. Plus there are plenty of vegetarian/vegan options to compliment all of that fishy goodness.
Even more yum.
My favourites include the salmon nigiri, ebi fry maki rolls and hot, fresh tempura vegetables. Mr loves the fish egg battleships, octopus nigiri and wakame salad… secretly, though, we love everything and usually eat so much that we have to walk home very, very slowly with lots of little rest breaks for tummy patting and murmurs of satisfaction…
Drinks options (not included in the sushi flat rate) are equally as varied, including a range of wines, sake, sochu cocktails, fruit juices, soft drinks and beer; with the choice of a selection of Japanese lagers or a local ale. Shiki is always a joy to visit; with a lovely relaxed atmosphere and friendly, efficient staff.
For us, Shiki is a Norwich foodie landmark; a must visit when we have friends to stay, or a special spot to celebrate. Kanpai!
