00:00hey Montreal welcome to good bites I'm Alex and this is the show where I bring
00:10you along with me to get a taste of the best that Montreal has to offer when it
00:14comes to food beautiful sunny day in Montreal perfect weather for today's
00:17spot that recently began offering its already recognizable boxes full of sushi
00:22sushi department is the sister ghost kitchen to Montreal's higher-end sushi
00:25restaurant Raiu aiming to hit the same levels of quality at a way more
00:30affordable price and delivering it in the brightest shade of fuchsia your eyes
00:34have ever seen sushi department is obviously not traditional sushi we have
00:38a lot of experience with traditional sushi Ryu sushi being the brand that we've
00:43had for years we wanted to do something a little bit different that was a lot more
00:47accessible for people we mix interesting flavors we mix new flavors so yuzu with
00:53salmon spicy tuna we have our spicy tuna crispy rice which is obviously not
00:58traditional at all today we're gonna give you a little bit of everything spicy
01:02tuna crispy rice salmon yuzu crispy rice and our famous avocado truffle crispy rice
01:07the big crab hand roll we have our spicy salmon spicy tuna kamikaze roll you're
01:13gonna get to try a little bit of everything
01:17all right so sushi department let me go with two boxes instead of just one so I
01:24decided to bring my girlfriend Liz and get a taste test with her here too
01:28crispy rice it's so weird can see how soft is on the inside but it's crispy and
01:38crunchy on the outside this is a very strange let's give us a little dunk truffle
01:44avocado I think no matter what you're making if you get the outside nice and
01:51crispy and crunchy but keep the inside nice and just soft and fluffy you win
01:57sushi department wins my favorite thing about tuna sushi is the color look how
02:04bright beautiful red that is this is hands-down the piece I am most excited to
02:11taste because it apparently took them a month to come up with the concept for
02:15this and when that blowtorch came out I knew I had to taste this
02:19you have that scorch from the blowtorch but it's not overwhelming it's not too
02:32smoky it's just smoky enough not bad and that is it for this episode of good bites
02:38thank you for making it to the very end and listen if you want to order from sushi
02:41department right now you can find them on ubereats and you can order directly off
