At this point I've been to Shikiji twice. Both times have been fantastic and it's close to becoming my favourite sushi spot in YYC.
First suggestion, MAKE A RESERVATION! Tonight my friend and I showed up at 7pm(on a Monday) and without a reservation there was a 15 minute wait for a table. Not too bad of a wait, but do keep that in mind.
Mondays are a great night to go, why? It's Martini Monday, I've made it through most of the martini list now and each one has been well made and great flavours. Some very Asian inspired through the use of Sake and Soho, some more contemporary such as the Bill Murray, a martini made with espresso vodka, Baileys and vanilla vodka.
The sushi on both visits has been perfectly rolled with the freshest ingredients. I described the Negitoro roll to my friend who had until this visit, never tried it as: "think of it as a tuna sandwich with an abundance of creamy mayo, it has that texture." Of course it doesn't have mayo in it, that would be an abomination! It was all about the texture, creamy smooth and a beautiful blending of the flavours.
The BC roll is probably the best one I've had outside of Vancouver(I'm an ex-vancouverite) and is certainly the best one I've had in Calgary. The salmon skin was delightfully crispy and and the dollop of unagi bbq sauce finished it perfectly.
Will I go back? Oh yeah!
