Hiromi Cake In Roma

21/07/2024: I see the effort and the concept, but for me the execution was lacking. The rice was overcooked to the point of being mushy and caked together, and the freshness of the fish was questionable. I ordered the carpaccio tatake, aburi sushi daily specials, and from the main menu the agedashi tofu and chirashi don. I always order chirashi because it is deceptively simple: it's sashimi on a bed of rice. You can't hide behind fancy rolls with drizzled sauces, but it's an opportunity to flex the freshness of your product and creativity of the chef. It looked ok when it arrived but was confusingly served with the dense rice packed into the bowl, topped with the fillings used for spicy tuna rolls and crab mayo rolls, oxidizing avocado, and a few nice sashimi splices. The carpaccio needed to be delicate but it was roughly cut, and swimming in sweet dashi. I wonder if the lack of air conditioning had something to do with these issues, because in contrast, the cooked items - the agedashi tofu and the blow-torched aburi sushi - were good though. Also considering the overall price placed it in comparison with higher-end sushi restaurants and it just didn't match up well in the overall quality.
