What stranger thing than a box of sushi Stranger Thingslike the one launched Sushi Shop with its colors that respect the color codes of the series. Beyond an alluring appearance, we will especially wonder if it’s good? What is certain is that the black fish sushi calls out. This “strange thing” is actually sea bream covered in black sesame powder. The red fish sushi is a piquillo sushi, so 100% vegetable. The bluefin tuna makis covered in peony flowers are pretty, but maybe a little bland, unlike the sprawling makis with their marinated red cabbage that takes away the taste a little too much. In short, in this box of 42 pieces for 47 euros, there is good and less good, our preference going to small more discreet but tastier pieces: the California Chicken Katsu and especially the Salmona Aburi rolls for their smoked taste affirmed.

Let’s say until summer.

Less aesthete than gourmet, we would rather recommend that you turn to the chef’s latest collaboration with Mory Sacko, because there, it’s about the sushi of an African chef who shows his love for Japan by combining at best both cultures. “With Mory Sacko, we are on something else, admits Christopher Jones. That’s what I call co-creation, like with Paul Pairet and other great conductors like Thierry Marx before him. A year of joint research and development to produce a series of signature sushi, both original and easy to reproduce at a reasonable cost. “We had okra, shrimp and palm oil and I said to myself… well, we’re going to make a sushi, remembers Mory Sacko. The basic ideas come like this. »
Thrill-seekers must absolutely taste the series of MoScoville Chef’s signature rolls: tuna maki garnished with aromatic herbs and peppers to be tasted in crescendo order, from weakest to strongest. It’s both stunning and delicious.
Ah thank you, rejoices the chef of the starred restaurant MoSuke. I hope people will feel that I had a blast making them and that it has this explosive effect every time. »
It will last a while: Christopher Jones confirmed to 20 minutes that the collab’ will be available until the end of the year.
