A lineup of popular sushi! “ABURICIOUS 12 pieces”
The “ABURICIOUS 12 pieces” at KINKA sushi bar izakaya Roppongi is a set menu that lets you taste six varieties of ABURICIOUS. Enjoy two pieces each of salmon, shimesaba (cured mackerel), shrimp, anago (conger eel) and roast beef oshizushi (pressed sushi), as well as the “KINKA ROLL.”

The salmon offering is a particularly popular choice within the set. The homemade aioli sauce, enriched with garlic, becomes aromatic when touched by the flame of the blow-torch. This melts the salmon’s rich fats, which then delicately coat your palate, providing an immediate burst of bliss. The coarse black pepper adds a punchy accent to the flavor! Combined with the zesty heat of green chili peppers, it creates a tantalizing taste that you’ll find addictive.
The KINKA ROLL featuring sea urchin, crab, and salmon, delights with its unique texture. As the tobiko (flying fish roe) is gently scorched by the torch, it creates a series of enticing pops. These sounds will surely whet your appetite, beckoning you to indulge. Be sure to listen for this enticing crackle.
