Hello Unregistered,

Every time you feel a little low in spirits and need a spot of pampering, head to Akashi.

Sit yourself down at the counter in this noisy, boisterous restaurant and ask owner Mervin Goh for some of his “special” sushi.

He doesn’t have a name for this one, so I just call it torounitoro ($35 a piece).

It is one swoonworthy mouthful that can bring on a food high that lasts up to a week.

On a small pillow of rice, he heaps tuna belly scraped off the skin, basically the oiliest, fattest bits. Then he spoons over some bright orange sea urchin gonads that we know as uni.

And if that isn’t enough, a slice of toro goes on top and he torches it lightly so it’s dripping more oil and giving off the heavenly fumes you get from seared fatty fish.

Don’t think about it too much. Just pop the whole thing in your mouth and hang on tight in case you fall off your chair in wonder.

Then, say: “One more please.”
