Browsing some photos of Masaaki's Sushi brought back a lot of memories of Tasmania. I drove from…read moreHobart to Geeveston for 90 minutes on Friday morning. I was thinking of not going at all, but when preparing my itinerary for Friday, it turned out that I could slip in some new items into the plan. I sent a message to Masaaki's Sushi through Facebook to see whether they had a free spot for a solo diner at their restaurant. Chef Masaaki replied at 3 AM. Unfortunately, the restaurant was already fully booked. I decided to get a takeaway instead. When I arrived at 11:30 AM, a queue was already formed outside of the restaurant. I kid you not; I was waiting for half an hour while the two guys behind me had a heated discussion about the new Alien: Covenant movie. It seemed that the man in front of me was one of Masaaki's loyal customers. He remembered his previous orders. When it was my time to order, the staff informed me of different rolls, inari and the fresh blue fin tuna tataki that they had on the day. I ordered too much for one person, but it was my only chance to taste Masaaki's sushi. I took my sushi to Hartz Mountain National Park and enjoyed it at the picnic area. The weather was super beautiful for winter. Birds were chirping, and the sound of flowing water completed the whole experience of eating delicious sushi. I noticed that the sushi rice was tasty and fresh. Chef Masaaki got up at 3 AM to cook his rice and checked on his seasonal vegetables. My favourite type of sushi was Inari and Masaaki's Inari was one of the best I ever tasted. The grated Tasmanian wasabi was quite similar to wasabi in Japan. It was smooth, a bit sweet and hot. I wanted to go back to Tasmania with my husband one day. And when I do, I will revisit Masaaki's Sushi to repeat the beautiful experience.

Accidentally found this place while heading back from Tahune... And the reviews since 2015 have not…read morelied. Recommend this!! Food: Sushi with great rice and fresh ingredients. Flavorful yet not overwhelming. The rice is sticky enough and puffy, yet balanced with the amount of ingredients (not too much rice). Also, happy that he provided Kikkoman sauce - the next best sauce to use. And do try the wasabi if possible, it's authentic and not the horseradish substitute. The wasabi is not very spicy yet packs a punch of flavour that would certainly keep you awake for your drive back home. Price: Decently priced! $1 for a small "Californian roll" and $3 for the larger brown bean curd skin "wrap", aka inari sushi. Although the sushi is probably not the kind you would have in Japan, I applaud Masaaki for being able to create sushi that retains the Japanese authenticity yet appeals to the locals for 10 years (yes he has opened his stall for that long) while using ingredients accessible to Australians. Also, you can try your luck at 6pm - he might still be open. (That's how I got to try this gem)
