Office workers and everyone who has been working hard all day, it is time to recharge at Daruma Sushi, The Explace branch. We think you will love it.
Whether you are an office worker, a student or simply a fan of Japanese food, this is the place to refuel. Daruma Sushi at The Explace serves sushi in proper mouthfuls and generous cuts of raw fish. Let's start with the first dish.
Medium salmon sashimi
If you are a raw fish person, and especially a salmon person, don't miss this set. Big pieces of juicy salmon come piled high in the bowl. It is so good that it disappears in no time.

Grilled chicken
Large pieces of chicken grilled until tender, served with pickled ginger to cut the richness. If you want Japanese food but don't feel like raw fish or sushi, this is the dish we recommend.

Salmon head simmered in soy sauce
Another one for salmon lovers. The salmon head simmered in soy sauce comes as a big, meaty head. If salmon is your thing, you shouldn't miss it.

Fish skin salad
Perfect for people who eat clean but not too clean. Crispy fried fish skin goes on fresh salad greens with a well-matched dressing. It is so balanced you forget it is supposed to be healthy food.

Marinated salmon
More salmon! This is soy-marinated salmon in thick pieces. The marinade is rich and the fish stays juicy, with garlic and chilli on the plate for a spicy kick. Best of all, the seaweed comes in generous amounts.
