Sushi: Up Close and Personal

For Father's Day I took my dad to Obento, he adores sushi so it was the perfect place, and easily the best sushi in Bristol. As I have already covered Obento in the blog once or twice I will mainly be using this post to showcase some of the great photos dad took testing his new compact camera out. If this doesn't get your taste buds salivating for sushi, nothing will.

Sushi I Up!

Sushi is one of my biggest food obsessions, ever since I tasted the cute little rice perfections back five or so years ago I have been hooked. I am fortunate to work about 2 minutes from two sushi restaurants, however the one that holds a special place in my heart is Obento right on the corner of Baldwin Street. They have invented such a gorgeous beast of a maki roll than I can't see how it can be topped. The Dynamite Roll(TM) is filled with salmon, cucumber, avocado, salmon roe and Japanese mayo but the nori has been rolled in tempura batter and flash fried so the outside is all crispy.

So moreish is this roll that my Australian sushi fan, we shall call her Katdog, is counting down the weeks til she moves to the UK again and can sample this delight once more.

Obento does a half price sushi deal on selected items from Sunday-Thursday all day and the Dynamite Roll is one of those items so at £4.40 a pop for 8 pieces it's a delicious bargain that is too much for this sushi addict to resist. I also recommend all their other sushi it is very tasty and well worth the money. Check it out now!
