Magome Treat: Hida-gyu Sushi?

During out recent trip down south, we stopped for a walk through the historical Nakasendo post town of Magome where we spotted this treat.

 

To be fair, I would have eaten any of these, but my spouse picked up the 800 yen sampler plate so that's what I ate.



The meat was delicious and tender...and a little too squishy for me in terms of texture. Most people who like nigiri and sashimi would love this as it has a very similar texture to raw fish. The flavor was wonderful anyway and I could have eaten three of these plates despite the texture issue I was having.

In addition, I thought it was really clever that they served the little nigiri on shrimp sembei rice crackers so one could just eat the plate, provided they didn't have a shellfish or crustacean allergy.
