I love sushi, and when it is as colorful and varied as this, it’s impossible for me to say no! The only problem at Silk was what was on the menu – they have the biggest selection of items that I have ever seen! I would basically call the menu a booklet, and a pretty thick one at that. In the end my usual method of elimination was not an option. I realised quite quickly that I had to focus in on what kind of sushi I wanted, and then what flavours to get. The one to the right in the pic is baked, and my ultimate favourite. Top left is Inari sushi. Got a bit thrown off by the texture of the tofu pocket, and for some reason I thought it not to be cold. Don’t ask me why 😀 Bottom left, more of a generic kind. In addition to exquisitely looking food, the restaurant itself has a stylish interior, which we didn’t get to enjoy, as we decided to sit outside in the sun – Norwegians and Estonians are alike, as long as there are a few rays present, we’ll stay outside 🙂 The Silk we dined at is situated in the old town, but not to worry, it’s not the usual tourist trap. That said, on the money side it’s not a cheap place, but for one accustomed to pretty high prices in the motherland, I would call it fair.
More on Tallinn.

Sushi seems to become an international foods. My sushi in Tokyo is looking a little bit different from ones in abroad. Come and try Tokyo sushi some day.
I will definitely make it to Japan. I have a friend I met on one of my travels who is from Japan, and the food pics she shares on FB are amazing! Yes, I guess food always look different abroad than in its country of origin.
Thank you for the reply. I am living in Tokyo, but I’ve never tasted the Scandinavian foods here. I hope to taste your foods in your country some day. It must be my very big dream, because your country is the other side of the globe… Anyhow I will try it. Whenever you have a chance to come to Tokyo, I’m sue to guide you the reasonable and delicious real Sushi restaurant. 🙂
Scandi food isn’t as world famous as sushi, so you probably won’t find it outside these countries 🙂 It’s like pizza in Norway is very different from pizza in Italy 🙂 Sounds great!
We are importing lots of king salmons and other fishes from Norway. Also Nordic Ski is very popular for winter Olympic games. Japanese jumpers got medals at Nordic. I really hope to try your foods. When I find the Nordic restaurant in Tokyo, I will be sure to send you its picture with my comment. 😉
If you can find a Nordic restaurant in Japan, I’d love to see a pic 🙂
I was checking the restaurants in Tokyo. I found a few Scandinavian restaurants or Swedish restaurants, but Nordic restaurants. I will try at a Scandinavian restaurant and check the Nordic cuisines. 🙂
I really didn’t think that would be the case. Tokyo apparently has it all 🙂 Let me know how it goes.
How bizarre, yet not. Booking a ticket to Tallinn just for the sushi 🙂
😀
We haven’t been to Tallinn yet, but I do love sushi, and it should be fresh since it’s right on the sea! We’ll keep this place in mind when we finally get there! Thanks for linking up with #wkendtravelinspiration!
That’s a good point! I’ve never taken into account whether it’s inland or coastal.
Hmmm! Tallinn doesnt not scream sushi to me but if you say this place is good, I believe you. I once had “sushi” in Oaxaca, Mexico and it was a terrible experience. The menu was varied but the place did not deliver in terms of flavor.
Ah, now I understand 🙂 In Norway variation is not huge, so just getting some other flavors and types than what I’m used to is a plus in my book… But I thought it tasted great as well. Just know you’re in CA with tons of places to choose from, I’m in Norway with a somewhat limited selection 😉
Yum! Looks delicious! thebhardwajlife.blogspot.in

I went to Tallinn this year but didn’t know about this place!Looks yummy !
It sure was! I visited Tallinn this summer 🙂
