A comprehensive menu
The Wasabi is the best Japanese restaurant in Alicante, despite being a franchise. We started with a wasabi salad, mixing different types of Spanish vegetables with seaweed and sashimi. Everything was seasoned with a delicious sauce. It was a fantastic start to the meal, and we followed it with a serving of six pieces of sashimi, fresh and thick, as I like it. We also ordered sushi: two pieces of ikura and two spicy tuna. The sushi was gigantic, only fitting in the mouth with a great effort, but delicious. We wanted to finish with a katsu udon, but they gave us a yaki udon by mistake.
Oh, well - we didn't want to be rude, so we ate it anyway.
I loved the textures of this dish. Finally, for dessert we had a chocolate coulant with a scoop of green tea and peach ice cream (perhaps too much cream). We had two beers, and as it was a special occasion, we also asked for a white wine to pair with the fish, and we loved it. The price was 94.50 euros. The decor is great, but don't expect anything authentically Japanese. The Wasabi Alicante belongs to a Mallorcan restaurant franchise. The menu is fairly comprehensive, but perhaps there isn't enough variety of sushi and hearty dishes to close. The wine list also features several types of sake.
