Light, Seasonal and Imaginative Sushi, Salads, Sake and Cocktails Available May through August

Get a fresh, summer start with RA Sushi! Rolled out last week, nine, all new, unique, light and mouthwatering combinations of flavors and spirits will be available through August at RA Sushi at Park Place in Leawood.  

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to taste the yummy new dishes! I started off with the Pear & Lemon Blossom

($8.50). This refreshing seasonal pear-infused lemonade is made with Absolute Pears, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, lemon sour and pear purée. This was one of the tastiest drinks I have had in a long time. I highly recommend it. 

Other

Creative Libations include:
Peach Basil Sour ($8.50): a flavorful mixture of Bacardi Peach Red, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, fresh basil and lemon sour.

Hot Tropics Margarita ($8.50): a blend of sweet and spicy flavors that contains Tanteo Tropical Tequila and Combier Liqueur d’Orange, shaken with mango purée, lime juice and agave nectar and served with a chili-salted rim.

Next up was

the Langostino Strawberry Salad ($12): langostino, strawberries, cucumber and avocado over arugula then tossed in citrus vinaigrette and served with a tangy kiwi wasabi sauce and truffle salt. The salad was quite flavorful. If you never heard of Langostino, it is very similar in taste to lobster with a slightly different texture. I really enjoyed the fresh strawberries and citrus.


Next I tasted the new appetizers:
Red Seabream Nigiri ($4.50) a delectable red seabream over rice, topped with spicy yuzu dressing and truffle salt and Red Seabream Carpaccio ($11) finely sliced red seabream and lemon topped with a spicy yuzu dressing, organic micro greens, truffle salt and touch of lemon zest. Red Seabream is a mild white fish.


By the time my yummy Tuna California Roll ($9) arrived, I was pretty full.  This is a classic California Roll topped with a mix of tuna, avocado, cucumber, bell pepper and cilantro, and finished with togarashi, garlic chips and black pepper soy sauce. It was very enjoyable.


Other new offerings include Sensational Sake:  

Discovery Sake Flight ($9): offering includes three 2 oz. pours: MIO Sparkling, Kizakura Pure and Saturi “Little Lily” Nigori.

TY KU Coconut Nigori Sake ($8/$16 *330ML Bottle): premium nigori sake infused with the refreshing taste of coconut and aromatic hints of vanilla.

I think RA Sushi is a great place for date night, lunch with the girls and happy hour! Their distinctive Japanese-inspired dishes and creative cocktails set R Sushi apart from the typical sushi place. RA Sushi is located at Park Place at 11638 Ash St, Leawood, KS.
