Review: Negishi Sushi Bar

As this season is littered with holidays for the people of kanton Argau, where my ♥ is employed I was delighted to wake up knowing he was off work today and tomorrow. He wanted to go into the city to run some errands and we ended up having a small bite to eat at the new(ish) Negishi Sushi Bar chain in the Steinen area (Stänzlergasse 7).  

We went in, and the design was quirky, light and fresh with the always anticipated and loved conveyor belt running an extensive track in the middle of the restaurant.  All tables were taken apart from one which was reserved for a certain 'Federer' so that was it..we HAD to eat there. . I should have used my brain as my ♥ reminded me, as it is prime tennis season at the moment and the man himself would be busy hitting balls around Wimbledon.We sat at a nice little table for two outside surrounded by bamboo, and the service was really quick and friendly.

Shrimp Soup

Kyoto Menu: 4 Nigiri, Fried Tofu, 2 Uramaka and 2 California Rolls

Yummy looking & colourful California rolls

We decided to share the Kyoto menu and a shrimp soup starter.  We really quite liked the menu as there was a nice selection of things to try, and it was funny being able to taste & talk about each item. The soup was quite bland,  maybe we were supposed to put some soja sauce in it or season it ourselves.  It was quite nice to see that Negishi offer sushi courses too around once a month,  I think this would be so much fun to do with a bunch of old friends while drinking lots of saki.
