Share Tweet Share Pin As Vancouverites, we’re pretty spoiled in the sushi department. Like most hotly debated food categories in the city: everyone has their favourite, and no one is afraid to tell you about it. I’ll go first. In the heart of Yaletown sits one of mine. Minami—known for their sustainably caught fish, aburi sushi and unique entrees. The restaurant is celebrating ten years with a brand-new surf and turf menu, and while it's known for the surf, the turf is pretty amazing.
Could you argue that veggie-focused dishes also fit within the realm of turf? I’d like to say yes because that means I can nominate Minami’s chilled miso eggplant as one of the top turf dishes around. The eggplant was marinated in the umami-forward sauce but retained enough texture to avoid the dreaded eggplant-mushiness. The black garlic puree served alongside should be bottled and sold: its depth is unparalleled and brought a slightly sweet, yet still savoury, complexity to the dish.
We quickly detoured from surf back to land with the flame grilled wagyu nigiri. Seasoned solely with sea salt, I wanted this luxurious one-biter to last forever. My sadness that it was gone was quickly remedied, however, by three stunning rolls that were quickly placed in front of me.The spicy poke roll was one the favourite of the night. It's filled with cucumber and spicy hamachi and salmon. A thin layer of inari on top added sweetness to this otherwise savoury roll.
We went back to sea for the final two dishes—and they went head-to-head with the wagyu for most luxe. First up: flame seared lobster tail with truffle Miku sauce . The name really says it all: if you’re a fan of truffle and a fan of lobster —then this might just be your new favourite food. The sauce is fearlessly truffle-forward with a richness that is balanced by the delicate lobster.
