Raw Meat a Delicacy not to miss !!!

Rice Balls, covered with Nori,comes in pairs.. and different types Maki, Nigeri, Shasmi.. In case you are wondering what is it that I am talking about, then it is a heavenly experience called Sushi. Japs know how to make food exotic, or rather everything exotic that includes their trains, cars, hair styles and even houses.
It was a Sunday like no other, Having driven for the entire day at 120Km/Hr, had driven to Mysore and back with only 4 hours of sleep the previous night.. but more about that in the next account that i write. So what was I talking about? ah.. Yes the Sunday! So i came back from Mysore around 19:00 hours. So as they say the night was still young and even though I was tired I was up for a good party. So we had decided to go to the Oktober fest in Bangalore, where we had gone the previous night. KK did a good show, brought back nice memories about the songs, especially the "Yaroon" song was done well.
So while I was driving back i was co-ordinating with my friends about what the plans were we came up with 3 options one was to meet up at a friends place have a few drinks and then headout to Opus in the Creek, where we had Tatva playing chill and Talamaska playing full on dark Psy. The other was to go to palace grounds and attend the okotber fest again where Indian Oecan supposedly was to play, but there was also the talks going on about one member having a heart attack and going in a coma. The third was to meet at the same friends place have a few drinks and have dinner at this oriental restaurant named "Ginsen" in Royal Orchid on the Airport Road next to KGA.
We decided to go with the third plan and so after having a drink at my friends place we headed towards Ginsen. We started walking towards Geofery thinking the restaurant is near that, however a waiter there pointed out its on a different level and he actually escorted us to that place, which may be standard for a 5 star Hotel but for me it was definately among the top. The entrance for the place is very plain Jane with the remnants of what was a lunch buffet. No Usher to let us in, but i think there wasnt much rush as we had choice of tables. The interiors were nicely done i would say modern not overly oriental as is the case in many "authentic" oriental restaurants. The menu presented was more of chineese and Thai, with the other regional menus offered on request. We were interested in Burmeese but then that was not avaliable. We asked for the Sushi menu, it was decided after much deliberation to order a double platter which would have 24 pieces, 6 of Maki and 12 of Nigeri and 6 of Shasmi. The chef who assembled it ( I cant say cooked, coz Sushi is Raw meat) knew what he was doing slicing the fish placing it in the sheet of Nori, layering with sticky rice, and then rolling the whole thing. This was what was to be the Maki Sushi. Another variation was with crab meat instead of rice, that was a heavenly experience, with the taste of pungent wasabi and Soya sauce intermingling with the taste of crab giving it a slighlty other worldly flavour. The Best one we had though was the Nigeri Sushi, we ordered both the Tuna and the Salmon, best and second best respectively. This consists of a egg shaped rice ball, and a slice of Tuna or Salmon on it, you pick up the whole item and dip it in Soya sauce and get lost in the culinary experience. No talking or even dont listen to what others are saying that you miss the taste. The slice just melts in your mouth, the taste is simply out of this world, plus with INR 1200 for all this it was a steal. Now i am expectedly waiting for the next opportunity i get to eat Sushi.

I heard they serve awesome Sushi is ITC Maurya, Delhi !!!
