Sushi & Caviar Heaven!
November 25, 2008 · Print This Article
Last week I had a VIP visit here in Uruguay. The country where I currently reside. It was my dad who wanted to get a better insight into sturgeon breeding and caviar production.
So, after visiting the aquarfarm in the heart of Uruguay, caviarmaster Roman Alcalde himself invited us to a truly special treat! Mission objective: ‘Café Misterio’. The best sushi temple in town and with a great ambient, cool sound and lots of sushi.
Sushis are quite common these days. So we needed a little ‘sugar on the top’. That’s why Roman took some fully loaded caviar tins with him and handed it out to the chef, along with some instructions to make the sushis unforgettable.
What came out of that kitchen was a revelation to me! I consider myself as a purist when it comes to caviar. But I have to admit that I was very fond, if not astonished, regarding the caviar-sushi experience. Actually it works very well. But only with lots of ‘sugar on the top’!
The four of us (Fernanda Alcalde, the caviarmasters wife came with us) were getting lost in sushi heaven – eating away about 60 sushis and 400grms. of the finest Oscietra caviar there is.
Thank you Roman. It was a memorable event!
Following some pix to share with you. But beware the side effects…!

Hi Bruno,
Thx for the flowers… Well, if you ask about the final price tag for end consumers, than we ate caviar with a total value of about 2500 Swiss Francs (not counting the sushis!). But fortunately the caviarmaster invited us.
