About this place
At Sushi Punch, the rice makes its presence felt just as much as the seafood. Diners have described generous pieces of seafood paired with red-vinegar rice, whose gentle acidity brings the flavours together. Another account found the rice slightly firm. For those who enjoy a satisfying bite of rice alongside seasonal fish, the omakase offers plenty to appreciate.
One account of the lunch omakase describes a progression from chawanmushi with red snow crab to tiger pufferfish, kombu-cured sea bream, squid, sardine and kuruma prawn. A dish of ankimo (monkfish liver) with narazuke pickles stood out for its richness and surprisingly light finish. The meal reportedly ended with simmered conger eel, soup and tamago. It makes for a lunch to savour as a full course, with small dishes and soup as well as nigiri.
Dinner accounts mention chawanmushi with firefly squid and a tiger pufferfish appetiser, followed by fried cutlassfish served with house-made shari mayonnaise. Among the nigiri, diners have singled out the firm bite of squid and the melt-in-the-mouth texture of fatty tuna. From lively small plates to seafood with distinct textures, the meal changes character as it unfolds.
Some diners have enjoyed Japanese sake with their meal. The menu also describes Muscadet with citrus aromas and refreshing acidity, as well as Champagne with notes of peach and pear. The selection suits both an evening centred on sushi and sake and a meal with wine. The restaurant is described as intimate, with limited seating, and reservations are recommended for dinner.
