Hanmoto is known for umami-rich dishes. The salmon aburi is a dish that checks all the boxes. It’s on one hand fresh and light, but the rich sauce that’s used to torch it aburi style packs it with umami. Add some spice from the wasabi, and a then a fun interactive element, and we’re all smiles.

By interactive we’re referring to the assembly of your meal. The dish is served with a side of nori sheets which you use like taco shells to enjoy the fish. It’s like a little fajita set, or make-your-own sushi. Pair this up with a can of Funaguchi Namazake from Kikusui and wow! You’ll be back at Hanmoto to sample the whole menu.
