[Taiwan] 台北,捷運西湖站,台灣合點壽司 - 內湖店 (Gatten Sushi Taiwan)

兩個多月前,日本有名的合點壽司來台開設第一家分店的新聞還滿大的,特別的是,店家居然選擇落腳內湖,就在捷運西湖站附近一百公尺左右,讓我也覺得可以找個時間去嚐嚐,沒想到,當時最晚在晚上六點左右時,號碼牌就發光了;兩個多月後的八月底,我在五點初頭再來嘗試一次,還好,大約只有11,12組客人,大約只等了30分鐘就可入座了,不知是不是因為內湖的交通畢竟不像市中心那麼方便,所以人潮很快地就開始下降了,呵~
It's about two months ago, Gatten Sushi opened the first branch in Taiwan, near the Metro Xihu station at Neihu district. There are so many people so you may not get the ticket if you came here around six o'clock PM for the dinner. After two months, it's not so hard. Maybe because it's at Neihu, which is not a convenient place for those live in the downtown or other areas of Taipei. The time I arrived is about five and there are about 10 groups before us. We can get in about waiting for 30 minutes which is not so bad.



一坐下來就先用抹茶粉泡了一杯熱茶,還不錯喝,前後大概喝了三杯吧。
The tea with the matcha powder, not so bad. I may drink for three cups.



吧台的每個座位前都有一台供作點餐的平板,老實說,使用過後,我真的不知道這對一家迴轉壽司來說是好的進步?還是壞的改變?
對我來說,透過平板,我可以很輕易地理解店家有供應哪些料理,又有哪些料理已經完售,不用在迴轉台上癡癡地等是好處,但這同時也是缺點,因為迴轉台上的驚喜同時也不見了!顧客之所以會將目光盯在迴轉台上,就是因為不知道壽司師傅會把什麼樣的驚喜放上迴轉台,必須盯著才不會錯過,才不會被坐在廚房出口處的前方客人就把想吃的壽司搶光(雖然被搶光的遺憾或許也是種體驗),平板剝奪了這樣的樂趣。
知道了合點壽司有提供哪些料理之後,居然帶來了另一項失望,覺得品項好少,好像只有三四十樣,想吃的卻只有五六道,完全不像是走進一家迴轉壽司店應該體驗到的經歷,感覺好像應該應該要有一百道壽司可選,然後至少要有廿道想吃,還要碰運氣看能在迴轉台上拿到幾樣,吃到有點太撐地走出餐廳,可惜這不會發生在合點壽司。
平板還讓我的用餐方式做了調整,我幾乎不看迴轉台上有什麼壽司了,我不知道那道壽司已經在迴轉台上放了多久?是否還新鮮?看到想吃的壽司,我寧可用平板點餐,耐心地再等一下,至少是師傅手工現做,超新鮮的啦!
The tablet for you to place an order. I don't know if this is a advantage or disadvantage for the restaurant. For me, the advantage is that I can tell that what the restaurant have easily. But, as a Kaiten-zushi (also called Conveyor belt sushi, rotation sushi or sushi train), is it a benefit for the customer to know what exactly you have? The user may not have a chance to be surprised to find something he doesn't expect to see on the belt. Like me, I feel disappointed that the Gatten Sushi Taiwan only provide maybe less than 30 sushi, and I may just only want to try 5 or 6 of them. This is not what I expect when I go in a Kaiten-zushi. Another disadvantage of it is that I don't want to pick up the sushi on the train anymore, because I don't how long time it may be when it's on the train. I just want the totally fresh sushi by my orders.


甜蝦,剛坐下,依習慣從迴轉台上拿了一盤壽司,也就僅此一盤,很大一隻蝦,很甜,很好吃!
The sweet shrimp, which is also the only one I got from the belt. It's sweet and nice. 


經典的推薦五貫壽司,由左至右依序是鰈魚鰭邊,鮭魚,赤海老,紅甘與黑鮪魚中腹,都挺鮮甜的,鰈魚鰭邊QQ挺好吃的,鮭魚相對比較沒有特色(不錯吃,只是不特別),紅甘也是,我覺得最好吃的是赤海老與黑鮪魚中腹。
The classical five, the flounder, salmon, cocktail shrimp (or whiskered velvet shrimp), Greater amberjack and the chu-toro. The best of them are the cocktail shrimp and chu-toro.



於是我又單點了一盤赤海老,蝦子的甜味超棒,且蝦肉厚實,好滿足的一大口~
So I have another cocktail shrimp, it's sweet and it's big. I feel satisfied.



吃到很不錯的黑鮪魚中腹肉,馬上點一盤大腹肉來比較一下,我覺得這是在迴轉壽司店吃壽司最大的好處,可以用相對便宜的價格,同時比較相似的魚肉,無論是近似的魚種,還是部位的差異,藉此機會分辨互相之間的差異,增進自己對壽司的認識,像今天,我就完全理解為什麼大腹肉會比較貴?為什麼大家都說大腹肉是口味較重的魚肉,應該放在後面吃?它的油花比中腹肉更多,很濃郁,吃在嘴裡,油脂展現的肥美,真是好吃,且讓人覺得好滿足,覺得好像這一餐就該結束在這一道,真是一個完美的 Ending。
For me, the best things to eat in a Kaiten-zushi is they serve different level of the fish with cheap (or at least not so expensive) price. I ordered the otoro separately to compare the chu-toro and otoro. The otoro is more juicy since it has more oil. And I also got the point why people says you should eat the otoro later. You may feel satisfied and think this should be the end of this meal.


也許覺得就只是覺得,我還是多點了兩道─花枝與干貝,花枝的刀工不錯,肉質本身是比較有彈性的,QQ的,很好吃,干貝則非常軟,肉又很甜,真的是超棒的,就是我最愛的干貝。
Maybe not me, I order another two things, the squid and scallop. The squid is chewy and the scallop is so sweet and soft. So delicious.


女友則是加點了兩道炙燒壽司,蔥烤鹽味鮪魚和炙燒牛肉,這兩道廚師對肉的熟度都掌握地很好,讓肉散發了烤熟時的香,同時保留了肉質本身的甜味,很好吃。
My girl friend ordered the last two, roasted tuna and roasted beef. They both are good. The chef keep the natural flavor of tuna and beef and they're cooked. 



最後結帳的金額有點超出預期,總共1,436元,其實在看菜單時已經有點心理準備了,這個價格只是超出了走進來前的預期,感覺迴轉壽司店好像不該花到這麼多錢,也不過吃個八分飽而已;雖然覺得C/P值有點低,但這兒的魚肉真的很好吃,新鮮,份量也足,再加上廚師的功力,真的是美味的享受。
We spent NTD 1,436 in total. This is not a price you may expect for two people when you walk into a Kaiten-zushi in Taiwan. I may say the food is good, but the price may also be higher than a customer's expectation.
