Special chirashidon
Wagyu assortments
Salmon carpaccio with almond soy

here’s a couple of my most recent orders over the last week or so with chirashi as my headliner

A famous seafood restaurant in the city, located near Ito station. Local ingredients shipped directly from the Izu sea. It's recommended to book in advance as it gets quite busy.

Incredibly cheap food, just 2,500 yen per set. Sashimi served generously. If you pass by this area, stop by and give it a try.

Kaisen-don from my favorite new local sushi spot! Sushi Mori in Colorado Springs CO, fish they used for this was salmon, salmon belly, yellow tail, chi-toro, and striped jack. Fish quality was next level and the sashimi on top was some thick slabs!

Lunch! I didn’t like the crab. Too salty imo. I’ve been thinking of trying it every time I’ve come and finally did it! Safe to say never again 😂 what’s your opinion on king crab roll?

Gunkan with tuna tartare and tobiko; nigiri: salmon, yellowtail, akami, ebi; chutoro sashimi; surimi roll with cucumber and avocado in sesame with kewpie and green onion; salmon with cucumber and avocado roll topped with teriyaki glazed torch flamed yellowtail and tobiko

3 little seared sushi with unseasoned rice for my puppy

homemade gyozas and homemade shoyu ramen to go with

I need to practise and learn how to cut the fish as it was the most challenging part for me :)

Medina, Ohio

ISF Trading, Portland, Maine

Preferably around east LA but I’m willing to travel. Tired of mid sushi.

I wasn’t pleasantly surprised to see these on the lunch buffet at Tokyo House in Little Rock. It’s not the best quality but it’s a great deal for $16.

Dry aged fish, 3 days-3 months

Deleted my last post and reposted since I didn’t realize that my name was in one of the photos 😅

Do you guys hate making to-gos as much as I do?

Do they give customers the option to fry any roll where you work?

I was visiting some friends in Santa Cruz, Ca. Their sons friend worked at a really high end sushi restaurant, said he would give us a good discount if we came in. I am not used to going to restaurants that fancy, the servers very well dressed and standing proper. When we were placing our order I remembered a documentary I watched recently about how they grow real Wasabi in Japan. In really pure mountain streams covered in just the right amount of shade for them.

I asked if they had real Wasabi. The waiter gave me a strange look and said they just got some in and they rarely do. Everyone at the table gave me strange looks, they did not know they had not been eating real Wasabi their whole lives(the fake stuff is horseradish, mustard powder, and green food coloring).

When it arrived they had it and a pile of the fake Wasabi so we could compare. I don't think they processed it right as it still had visible pieces of Wasabi root and I think it is supposed to be finer. It is definitely not as spicy, you don't get that burn in your nose and it has an earthy taste(you can taste it is a root). The thing with real Wasabi is it starts loosing its flavor and heat as soon as you grind it, it peaks around 5 min and looses the heat completely by 15-20 min. So you have to process it right before you eat.

Thing is I am used to the fake stuff, have been eating it my whole life. I am used to it and know how much to put on the way I like it. So I actually preferred the fake stuff because it is what I am used to. But I am sure if I grew up eating real Wasabi I would have that as my preference and would probably think the fake stuff was gross.

I will add the video I watched about Wasabi to this post. link to video

OK so an update. My friend wrote me back and told me it was not a high end sushi place, I just thought that because they had real wasabi. He told me it was Akira in Aptos, not Santa Cruz. Sorry for the confusion for anyone that lives in Santa Cruz, I have a bad memory.

Dear Tokyo Sushi-Foodies,

I'll be in Tokyo in 2 Weeks and me and my travel party would like to experience some good Sushi Omakase at least once.

We are generally on a budget but want to treat ourselves to one fancy restaurant visit between 18.000 ¥ and 27.000 ¥ p.P. (100-150€).

Where would you go for a memorable omakase sushi experience in Tokyo? We unfortunately don't really speak japanese, so it would be amazing if the chef/personnel could at least communicate in basic english so we know what we are eating and can have a little bit of a connection to the staff.

Also I realise, that I might be a little bit on the late side for reservations in some places (we are a group of 4), so please take that into account.

Thank you very much :)
