15. May 2015: Restaurant Shinsen Japanese Food Culture
The “edamame” (CHF 6.50) is a good start for a sound lunch – however, it is quite heavily seasoned and salt is applied absolutely generously – actually even a bit too much.
The “Bento Tuna (tuna tatar with rice; 2 nigiri (1x tuna, 1x salmon), 4 hosomaki (2 salmon avocado, 2 tuna); 4 tuna sashimi, 4 salmon sashimi)” (CHF 36.00) is one of the better sushi / sashimi I have tried so far in Zurich. The quality of the fish is excellent and the aroma is outstanding and frankly, that you get a tuna tatar with your menu I have never experienced before in Switzerland.
Even the “tea” (CHF 3.50) is worth trying. Overall, the food and beverages at the Restaurant Shinsen Japanese Food Culture are delicious. The atmosphere is very comfortable – somehow a mixture between a very simple interior design and the sweetness that you get to have a look directly into the kitchen where the sushi is being prepared.
Overall, I can absolutely recommend the Restaurant Shinsen Japanese Food Culture for a sushi lunch – worth trying!

About the Author: Sven
I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
