Another brother sister event at Maruseki. I had some sushi 6e and the calamari 7e and of course rice and water. The thing is I was dissapointed this time in the calmari because it wasn't a nice big one this time, instead there were a few small ones and the taste wasn't the same. Slightly dissapointing. Yet, the food was still delicious as always. My brother had his usual, sushi, rice and tonkatsu (fried pork). I'd like to take my fiance out here next time because he's never had sushi.

Verdict: Good stuff as usual. Although the new calmari was a bit of a dissapointment. Hopefully the big good calmari will be available again soon! :)

I had lunch with my parents at Maruseki. This time I ordered 2 salmon nigri sushi 1,50e and cooked kalamari and rice 6,00e. My parents opted for the lunch menu. My mother who is a vegetarian had the vegetarian lunch and my dad the sushi lunch 7,00e (lunch comes with salad and miso soup). The sushi was good like last time. The kalamari was exellent! It was cooked so perfectly, nothing like those horrible calamari rings we used to have at school. But, it was the sauce that really touched my heart. It was some what comparable to the yakitori sauce, really really good.

Verdict: Once again an awsome memorable meal.

I love Japanese food. I absolutely adore it! And there is a Japanese restaurant in Tampere that I've been hearing only good things about. So, knowing I would get good company from my brother we set off to Maruseki.

It was prime lunch time on Saturday and the small restaurant was packed. But the staff kindly managed to fit us in. We ordered some sushi. I had 5 salmon norimaki 5,00e and my brother opted for the tuna. The sushi was fresh tasting and delicious (although, I'm ashamed to say that we had some difficulty with the chopsticks). Then we had some rice with seasoning 1,50e and tonkatsu 6e both of which were very very good. And to finish a good meal off my brother had some Genmai-tea 1e, which aparently was good. So in the end the whole meal was 12,50e and I was very full and content.

Verdict: Very nice family restaurant. Pleasant staff and good food.
