The salmon sushi was excellent. Great service and ambiance.
Harima may be a little hard to find on the 4th floor of a not so hap looking Devatha Plaza. But if you are looking for a authentic Japanese experience in Bangalore, then you need to be at Harima. On entering the restaurant we were greeted in both Japanese and English.
What surprised me was that almost all the tables were occupied by Japanese people and they were all talking in Japanese. Some were office groups and some were family. This gave me the feeling that you get authentic Japanese and not Indian Japanese here.
We ordered California rolls, Salmon sushi. We requested sake but unfortunately it was not available. So we ended up ordering a Japanese sweet potato based alcohol which tasted like vodka but with a bit of sweet flavor. The California roll (cooked crab and prawn) was good. The salmon (raw) sushi with wasabi and soya sos was just awesome. I would definitely be going to Harima when i come back to Bangalore.
As a final note, Japanese dish not for all Indians. Sushi and sashimi are normally raw fish/seafood. Dishes might not be spicy in a Indian way. If you can appreciate a different kind of food, Harima is definitely the place.
