Egawa Sushi: A Fusion Frenzy in Cork City's Kyle Street where Japan meets Brazil.

Egawa Sushi: A Fusion Frenzy in Cork City's Sushi Scene

You'll find her in Kyle Street. Not the girl from Ipanema!

Move over, California rolls! Cork City's sushi scene just got a splash of vibrant fusion with the arrival of Egawa Sushi on Kyle Street. You'll find them in the former Brazilian Golden Bites space, Egawa offers a unique twist – Japanese sushi with a Brazilian flair - note the international flags (Japan and Brazil!) displayed on their Instagram.

Intrigued by the eye-catching artwork around the door, I decided to peek in, lured by the promise of something different. My Katsu Curry-loving companion couldn't tell me anything about the sushi (their loss!), but their glowing recommendation for the Katsu piqued my curiosity further.

A Take-Out Feast for the Senses

Egawa offers both dine-in and take-out options, perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed meal at home. I opted for take-out, drawn to the substantial Urumaki rolls (double the size of Hosomaki for a hungrier appetite). The Tuna and Avocado Uramaki stole the show. This beauty, priced at €15.00, featured melt-in-your-mouth raw tuna, creamy avocado, a touch of Japanese mayo, and a symphony of textures with fried garlic, sesame seeds, and scallions. Every bite was a delightful explosion of taste and texture, with the included wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce adding the perfect finishing touches.

A World of Flavors to Explore

But the Urumaki adventure is just beginning! Egawa tempts with a variety of other options, including Salmon Uramaki, Grilled Salmon Uramaki, and a truly unique Egawa Uramaki, which combines tempura prawn, tuna and blow-torched salmon. Feeling adventurous? The Sundried Tomatoes Uramaki might be your perfect match.

And that Katsu Curry? It's waiting to be explored alongside a whole host of other menu options.
