This fall, Momiji Sushi Restaurant is bringing something extraordinary to the table. Starting September 8, 2025, participating Momiji locations will feature a brand-new lineup of six Chef’s Specials — seasonal dishes that highlight premium seafood, bold flavors, and the artistry of Japanese cuisine.
Available for dine-in, takeout, and delivery, these creations are designed to impress with flavor, creativity, and presentation. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur, a loyal Momiji Member, or just looking for a new dinner for date night, these specials are the perfect reason to celebrate.
What Makes Chef’s Specials Unique?
Chef’s Specials at Momiji are crafted to push boundaries, blending traditional Japanese techniques with innovative flavor pairings. They’re exclusive, limited-time offerings, meaning once the season changes, they’re gone. If you’re searching for Oregon sushi specials, new sushi rolls near me, or unique nigiri dishes, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for.
The Six Featured Dishes
1. Chirashi Sashimi Bowl
A feast for the eyes and the palate, this Chirashi Bowl layers fresh sashimi over seasoned rice. Featuring blackened tuna, salmon, albacore tuna, escolar, smoked salmon, hamachi, tamago, avocado slices, seafood salad, and seaweed salad — every bite is a new flavor experience.
Topped with Yuzu Ponzu, tobiko, radish sprouts, and a fresh lemon wedge, this dish is bright, balanced, and packed with texture. Perfect for dine-in presentation or neatly packaged for takeout and delivery.
Suggested Drink Pairing: Hana Fuji Apple Sake — its crisp apple notes lift the fresh flavors of the sashimi.
2. Salmon Carpaccio
Thinly sliced salmon is drizzled with Yuzu Ponzu and our new Black Truffle Garlic Dashi Soy Sauce. Finished with red tobiko, deep sea crab, cilantro, green onion, radish sprouts, and a touch of chili spice, it’s delicate yet luxurious.
A true chef’s masterpiece, Salmon Carpaccio offers a burst of umami in every bite. Fresh lemon wedge included for that final citrusy touch.
Suggested Drink Pairing: Hakutsuru Plum Wine — sweet and smooth, balancing the savory truffle and salmon.
3. Yuzujime Madai (Sea Bream) Nigiri – 2pc
This premium nigiri features seared sea bream fillet, quickly chilled, then sliced into elegant nigiri. Topped with Yuzu Ponzu, Black Truffle Garlic Dashi Soy, cilantro, and green onion, it’s refined, flavorful, and expertly crafted.
The skin-side presentation gives this nigiri an elevated look — perfect for seafood enthusiasts.
Suggested Drink Pairing: Kawaba Pearl Pilsner — a crisp lager-style beer that complements the clean, citrusy flavors of sea bream.
4. Premium Salmon Toro Nigiri – 2pc
Indulgent salmon toro topped with scallop, Yuzu Ponzu, ikura, black pepper, and cilantro. This is nigiri elevated to its highest form — rich, buttery, and brimming with ocean-fresh flavor.
Perfect for those who love sushi with depth and decadence.
Suggested Drink Pairing: Ozeki Hot Sake — the warmth enhances the richness of salmon toro.
5. Wasabi Crunch Roll – 10pc
This roll delivers crunch and heat in every bite. Inside: seafood salad, sriracha, tempura jalapeños, yam, onion, cucumber, and radish sprouts. Outside: wasabi mayo drizzle, sweet chili sauce, and green onion.
It’s spicy, savory, crunchy, and fresh — everything you want in a roll that packs a punch.
Suggested Drink Pairing: Lucky Dog Session IPA — the hoppy bitterness pairs perfectly with the heat.
6. Hokkaido Scallop Roll – 8pc
Premium Hokkaido scallops crown this roll, layered over tuna, salmon, avocado, and radish sprouts. Finished with Yuzu Ponzu, wasabi mayo, ikura, cilantro, and green onions, it’s a luxurious roll that celebrates one of Japan’s most sought-after seafoods.
Suggested Drink Pairing: Aizu Strawberry Nigori — creamy and slightly sweet, the perfect contrast to rich scallops.
