Variations abound and when you’ve got your hands on a scrumptious one, enjoy it with sips of Bourbon or relish it like we do, with freshly brewed coffee. Here’s our round-up of the best in town.

Loosely translated as ‘bara’, chopped fish scattered randomly over rice, this colourful bowl of goodness is the ideal comfort food for those hankering for a one-stop sashimi meal. While the assortment of raw fish varies from house to house, the ocean delights should be perfectly cubed, marinated and sitting atop a bed of vinegared short grain sushi rice, garnished with freshly grated wasabi, tobiko and tamago. Douzo meshiagare.
