Well after a "lazy Sunday" of doing absolutely nothing, we ventured out to Kihei for a serious sushi chow down! Sansei...a place I have written about before, but if you didn't read that, and want to know what sushi heaven is like, here's what we had:
Teriyaki beef and greens - the beef is so tender and flavorful, its hard to describe with words
Sashimi platter - yellowtail (hamachi), ahi, and salmon....by far the best sashimi in the world is now hamachi. Forget you ahi, you are a thing of the past. This fish literally melts in your mouth. My brother then proceeded or order a plate of strictly hamachi it was THAT good.
Misoyaki butterfish - its so delicate, hard to describe (don't be grossed out but it kind of has a "fat-like" consistency but ultimately falls apart in your mouth). The miso sauce is what hits it home though.
Panko crusted ahi - a standard order here, and an award winning dish for Sansei, which is ahi wrapped in arugula/spinach and panko and flash fried, nestled atop a delish soy wasabi butter sauce. Mmmm.
Kapalua Butterfry Roll - Smoked salmon, crab, fresh shiromi and veggies in crispy panko batter, served with tangy ponzu sauce. Another one of my favorites - possibly because its fried? How can you go wrong with that.
Sansei Special Roll - Spicy crab, cilantro and fresh veggies, dusted with furikake and served with sweet Thai chili sauce. By far one of the tastier rolls on the menu - perhaps that's why its called Sansei Special!
69 Roll - California Roll rolled inside-out and topped with unagi and masago (ahhhh, fish eggs). Now, I'm not a fan of the California Roll, but when you top it with unagi and the infamous unagi glaze, it makes everything taste delicious!
And of course the vegetable tempura - purple sweet potatoes, asparagus, bell pepper, zucchini, onions! Hmmm, how many things did we order fried?!
It was all topped off with dessert, which we normally don't leave room for, but we went easy on the sushi tonight: Tempura fried ice cream - hello dessert heaven! Vanilla ice cream wrapped with buttery pound cake, rolled in roasted macadamia nuts, flash-fried and served with chocolate sauce. Um yeah, totally worth it.
Until my next adventure!
