Rå Epok

A superb sushi place in Lund! They have a big menu with a lot of cool choices like salmon maki w coriander and wasabi rom. Also there miso soup has a twist, it is with seafood, and it’s amazing! One of the owners is also one of the best sushi chefs in Sweden, and it reflects back to this place. Great quality food!

This place is the bomb! I eat here at least twice a week. Super fresh fish and innovative rolls done with a true Skåné style. Go for the Funky Lax (Salmon) Roll and don’t forget the soup, mmmmm

Best sushi in Lund, at least if you are open to trying something a bit different.
The fish soup that they serve instead of miso soup is nice and fishy.
The Yakiniku is quite good as well, and it comes with different toppings
almost every time (pickled onions, sometimes kimchee or beans).

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe you need to be an Italian to make a good pasta but when it comes to Sushi I tend to be somewhat prejudice. But If you live in Sweden and still got the raw fish cravings you need to get off your high horses or good luck finding Japanese authentic sushi or for that matter a Japaneses sushi chef. I am not saying there aren’t any but I am saying the good ones do not bother to leave Japan for Sweden or for that matter London or NY for Sweden.
Having said all that, let me assure you that in Lund, a small town in the south of Sweden but still the biggest university town in the entire country lies a little gem called Rå Epok.
At Rå Epok the concept is simple as well as revolutionary and Avant-​garde. Sushi needs to evolve and become sustainable, contain locally produced/​caught fish which also are and should be restocked. So for all you fatty tuna lovers, stop reading the review right about here this place is not for you or for people in love with any species on the «Fish Red List» !
However if you can access your green conscience, once in a while, and or are adventurous let your taste buds get tickled and amazed by the taste of Nigiris or maki rolls made with char, cod, perch or pike-​perch or other seasonal sustainable and regional fish topped with pomegranate and leek salad or Passion Fruit vinegar.
The fish selection might sound unusual but still even to my Japanese friends the taste and texture of the Nigiris was the most authentic, superb and delicious. Portion– and price wise the dishes are also good bang for the buck and at lunch time even a better bargain together with the yummy, however somewhat thick Miso soup. I only wish the little fingers of perfectly vinegared rice were topped with wasabi under the file as they always are in Japan. But It is all forgiven and forgotten when your EBLAROLLE (char maki roll with chive, apple and cream cheese) or KRÖGAREN (grilled salmon maki roll with avocado, cucumber and fresh chili) arrives at the table.
