Aburi Mayo Nigiri

What this is

Aburi Regular Mayo Nigiri is a rich and indulgent sushi dish that combines the smoky, caramelised flavour of aburi-style fish with the creamy smoothness of regular Japanese mayonnaise. Lightly seared to perfection, the fish retains its tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture while the creamy mayo adds a subtle richness. This dish offers a delightful blend of smoky and creamy flavours, making it a favourite for those seeking a balanced and luxurious sushi experience.

How it is made

Our Aburi Regular Mayo Nigiri begins with premium, sashimi-grade fish, which is lightly seared using a blowtorch to give it a smoky, caramelised surface while keeping the inside tender and raw. A generous dollop of smooth Japanese mayonnaise is added on top, enhancing the natural flavours of the fish with its creamy richness. The fish is served over a base of perfectly steamed sushi rice, seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt for balance. Each piece is handcrafted to ensure a harmonious bite of fish, rice, and mayo with every serving.

Where it is sourced

We source our fish from sustainable Australian and New Zealand waters, selecting only sashimi-grade cuts to ensure the highest quality for aburi preparation. Our sushi rice is imported from Japan, chosen for its ideal texture and flavour when paired with the rich, torched fish. The Japanese mayonnaise is sourced from trusted suppliers to ensure authenticity, offering the perfect creaminess to complement the smoky fish.
