Grilled Turban Shell with Homemade Tartare Sauce - Azuma Chifley AUD12

Out of curiosity, we ordered a Grilled Turban Shell with homemade "tartare sauce". It was more like a creamy mayonaise and it was a creamy match for the firm flesh of the Turban Shell. Despite asking the waitress it's name in Japanese, I am no closer to knowing what this shellfish was :)

We've heard a lot about Azuma from friends, so we owed it to ourselves to visit. We were not disappointed!

 

All the waitstaff seemed authentically Japanese and indeed, there were several tables of Japanese enjoying their dinner. That is definitely a good sign.

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 Score: 15/20, One Hat "When Japan's Crown Prince and Princess visited Sydney, Azuma was their chosen place to dine. And so it should be. Served on exquisite ceramics by acclaimed artist Mitsuo Shoji is a procession of authentic Japanese dishes highlighting the finest Australian produce"
