Sushi Azabu @ ISETAN KLCC, Kuala Lumpur

Sushi Azabu

Sushi Azabu has relocated to ground floor of ISETAN KLCC. It is now set in an elegant and sophisticated setting, dressed with a mystery but intimate atmosphere; offering the authentic Edomae sushi.

It was our sushi gang Jessie’s birthday; we decided to splurge for her special’s day! She picked the place and here we were! My last few experiences with Sushi Azabu were quite some time ago in The ISETAN Japan Store KL, during their special Sushi X Sake event and the Xmas event , so here was the time for their usual Omakase course.

We had the 14-course omakase that is priced at Rm 338+ (Rm 392 nett included tax), this comes with an appetiser, a side dish, 6 pieces of seasonal nigiri and 2 kinds of tuna nigiri, rolled sushi, gyoku, miso soup and ended with a dessert.

Shinpei-san in action; the executive chef of Sushi Azabu – Shinpei Kujiraoka.

A huge thank you to the birthday girl Jessie! We got to savour this exquisite Kubota Manjyu Original Yeast YX that comes with a deep mellow texture, very elegant and mega aromatic. Corkage is at Rm 150.
