Let’s start our culinary journey at Chura Sushi Bar with the Chio Maki, a dish that is as delightful to the taste buds as it is a feast for the eyes.
Chio Maki is an intricate display of quality and freshness. At its heart is yellowfin tuna tartare, a rich and flavourful ingredient that forms the main act of this stunning dish.ย
The tuna is beautifully fresh, providing a soft texture and a taste that hints of the sea without being overwhelming.Next comes the crisp Japanese cucumber and marinated carrot, which add a refreshing and slightly sweet element to the maki.
But the additions of Kinshi Tamago, Uni, Caviar, and Ikura truly elevate this dish to a new level. The Kinshi Tamago, adds a hint of sweet complexity, while the Uni (Sea Urchin) offers a creamy, oceanic richness that is utterly delectable. The Caviar and Ikura (salmon roe) bring a pleasant pop of briny flavour and a luxurious feel to the dish.
Lastly, the sprinkling of edible gold flakes serves as a beautiful finishing touch, adding a sense of elegance and indulgence.

The Aburi Miyazaki Wagyu Roll is the next stop on our culinary tour of Chura Sushi Bar. This sushi roll is truly a celebration of some of the finest ingredients Japan has to offer, each element perfectly selected to enhance the experience of the dish.
Centre-stage in this sushi roll is the Miyazaki wagyu, a type of beef famous worldwide for its incredibly tender texture and rich, marbled fat. It melts in your mouth, setting the stage for the flavours that follow.
Next, we have the Bafun Uni, or Sea Urchin. It provides a wonderfully creamy taste that works perfectly with the wagyu. It’s luxurious, rich and adds a depth of flavour that makes the roll even more memorable.
Adding to the luxury of this roll is caviar. Its sophisticated saltiness complements the rich wagyu and uni, while the crab stick offers a hint of the sea that balances the dish. Japanese cucumber and tamagoyaki introduce a refreshing crunch and a mild sweetness, respectively, contrasting the richness of the other ingredients.
What makes the Aburi Miyazaki Wagyu Roll truly special is the finishing touch. The roll is lightly torched with Himalayan sea salt, enhancing the ingredients’ natural flavours. This simple act of applying heat transforms the roll, coaxing out an extraordinary depth of flavour that stays with you long after the last bite.

The third dish we’re exploring at Chura Sushi Bar is the Chura Chirashi. This is a real treat for those who love variety. With a mix of different ingredients served over sushi rice, it’s a dish that ensures every bite is a new experience.
Chura Chirashi begins with an assortment of sashimi, including tuna, salmon, marinated white tuna, and red snapper. Each piece of fish brings its own unique taste and texture. The tuna is rich and creamy, the salmon brings a beautiful oily texture, the marinated white tuna has a delicate, slightly sweet flavour, and the red snapper offers a light, slightly sweet taste.
This delightful sashimi mix is paired with a Japanese rolled omelette, which adds a soft, slightly sweet note. Salmon roe and sea urchin introduce a briny ocean taste, which is beautifully complemented by the luxurious taste of caviar.
Chura Chirashi isn’t just about the seafood, though. Japanese lily bulb and marinated lotus root add a lovely contrast in texture, while sakura denbu, a sweet pink fish flake condiment, brings a subtle sweet and savoury balance to the dish. All of these elements sit on top of a bed of sushi rice, which absorbs the flavours of the toppings, becoming a star in its own right.
Blissful Berries Dessert

Last but certainly not least on our exploration of Chura Sushi Bar’s menu is the Blissful Berries dessert. This sweet treat is the perfect way to round off a meal, offering a delightful blend of tastes and textures that’ll leave you feeling utterly satisfied.
At the heart of Blissful Berries is a chocolate peanut crepe. It’s thin and slightly crispy, with a hint of rich chocolate that perfectly complements the nuttiness of the peanuts. The crepe is layered with mascarpone cream cheese, a smooth, creamy filling that’s light yet indulgent. It melts in the mouth, providing a luxurious contrast to the crispiness of the crepe.
Adding some crunch to the dish is strawberry granola. It’s slightly sweet and perfectly toasted, providing a pleasing crunch that contrasts beautifully with the smooth textures of the crepe and ice cream.
And finally, we have fresh strawberries and raspberries. They’re juicy and sweet, with just a hint of tartness that cuts through the creaminess of the dish. They not only add a pop of colour to the plate but also bring a fresh taste that rounds off the dessert perfectly.
