Sei-Ryu x The Forum

6/30 Edited to

... Read moreI recently had the chance to dive into the sushi experience at Sei-Ryu located within The Forum in Peachtree Corners, and it was truly memorable. What stood out to me was their creative omakase dishes, such as the Wagyu Shisito Poppers—tempura-fried wagyu topped with a vibrant blend of spicy mayo, eel sauce, and bonito flakes. The blend of textures and flavors was spectacular and offered a wonderful twist on traditional sushi. Another highlight was the Fatty Tuna topped with Sea Urchin (Otoro Uni) dressed in Nikiri Shoyu. The richness of the otoro combined with the subtle sweetness of the sea urchin created a melt-in-your-mouth sensation that was beyond my expectations. Pairing these dishes with their unique cocktails enhanced the dining experience. For instance, the Yuzu Madai Crudo cocktail, featuring passion fruit and sake, delivered a refreshing yet complex flavor profile that complemented the seafood perfectly. Also notable were the beverage options, from craft cocktails infused with elements like chrysanthemum and yuzu soda to refreshing mocktails such as cucumber yuzu blends. This attention to drink pairings added a thoughtful touch to the meal. If you’re in the Peachtree Corners area and crave an authentic yet innovative sushi experience, Sei-Ryu's offering at The Forum is a fantastic choice. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and the staff was eager to help guide us through the menu, including the option for nigiri flights, which allowed for a curated tasting of several fresh selections with ponzu and grated daikon. For sushi lovers and newcomers alike, this spot delivers a delicious fusion of traditional and modern Japanese flavors in a vibrant setting.
