Beef Negimaki review by hurkanakbiyik at Ichi-E, Amsterdam

For my lunch I ordered a bento box with beef rolls, fried rice, some greens, and veggies on the side. The beef was tasty. Tender and full of umami. It was actually my first time trying these beef rolls and I really liked them. The sauce on top wasn’t really needed. The filling had enough flavor on its own. Everything inside the roll was well-cooked and worked nicely with the meat. The rice was a bit dry but still had a nice flavor to it. Simple and comforting. Zucchini with mushrooms was just okay. A bit tricky to eat since it was hard to bite through and I only had chopsticks. Would’ve been easier with a knife. Portion-wise it was a bit small for me but overall a nice experience. I’d definitely give it another go.
