We finally made a booking to try Sokyo which is located in The Star at Pyrmont. Sokyo is considered expensive but I believe the quality of the food is excellent and you can leave feeling quite full without spending as much as on a degustation at any other fine dining restaurant. I am planning my next visit to Sokyo as it is truly a gem of a Japanese restaurant in Sydney. Now onto the food.

I couldn't help but silently stare in awe at how gorgeous the presentation was as it was placed on our table. Honestly, it looked too pretty to eat! Tuna would have to be one of the fish I quite enjoy eating raw and when it is seared, well that makes it even better. The tuna was incredibly soft in texture and I loved how the searing brought out a lovely smokiness to the fish and added flavour. The intricately plated salad was refreshing and really helped to cut the density and rich flavour of the tuna.
