South American Sushi?
Brazilian, Japanese, and Peruvian cuisines. Not exactly what you think of together, huh? Sushi Samba, in the Palazzo, Las Vegas, aims to meld these three cuisines into one restaurant. I admit, I went there for the Sushi.
My husband wanted Shibuya. I wanted something new for the sake of something new. Since we were staying at the Palazzo, we decided to try Sushisamba.
Though I am a bit of a food connoisseur, I do not claim to be familiar with South American fare. Because of this, both my husband and I decided to get the modified Omakase, tasting menu for only $100 per person. This was not supposed to be available unless the whole table got it, and my Mother-In-Law was not hungry enough. (She ordered a lamb chop and grilled asparagus that she raved about.) Though our waitress was very helpful and worked with the chef to make us a modified version. We also made sure to let it known we wanted Toro (fatty Tuna, yum) and Kobe beef whenever possible. What a great experience! Our meal included such things as Kamomoto Oysters from Washington State with some kind of soy sauce, slivered Kobe beef with mushroom sauce, and a selection of Sashimis, one with an awesome citrus sauce. We had Lobster, Scallops, a traditional Brazilian Seafood Stew, and an assortment of great desserts, including mochi ice cream, my favorite. Even the drinks were different. I had a Figo, a fig martini drink. If you like Sake, there are many to choose from here. They even have a Sake Sommelier, along with a wine Sommelier. If you have too many drinks, like I did, you’ll even find that the bathroom stalls are interesting. Each stall is a tall cylindrical pod and you can see parts of the restaurant from the sinks through slits in the walls.
