| - Ahhhh my first real sushi-ya. Ever since i saw the episode of Anthony Bourdain - No
Reservations - http://youtu.be/yuhu4QZJZyw i knew i had to tried this.
Nothing crazy here. Just some old fashion, traditional sushi ,and darn good if you ask me. Bonito, Jack Mackerel, Uni with Ikura, and Cherry Salmon to name a few off the Nigiri Omakase. Finish off with a Tamago that taste like pancake and a Negi-toro hand roll. Of course the Itamae (skilled chef) will ask if you would like to order anything else ala carte before you get to those. Nigiri Omakase is the way to go. Just let them know if you have any preference or allergies before hand.
Avoid the tables at all cost. Even if you have to sacrifice some friends. Cast them off, tell them lies, do whatever it takes to diminish the group size. I made a mistake the first time i came around because i joined a party of 4 at the table. Good company ;however, i've missed out on the show. The last couple time I was fortunate enough to sit at the bar, granted I called 30min prior to closing if they would take in one more resv. Yea, I'm THAT guy.
Timing is a somewhat crucial. The server informed me that sushi taste different when served from Itamae directly as opposed to table service because of amount of time the fish and rice are exposed to the air temperature. It's highly recommended that you eat when you are served. Like straight off the chef's hands if possible.
Calling in for a reservation? How about call in and reserve fresh fishy? Yup, they take special request like that too, but i would imagine you have to be with in the "in" crowd to be able to call dibs on those prized catch. Not to worry though, fishes are flown in daily so there's always going to be something for everyone.
Now that they just got their liquor license, i'm not certain if you can still BYOB. Servers are quite knowledgeable about their sake. They even suggest champagne with your meal. Upsale perhaps??
Well then go ahead. Take it! TAKE MY MONEY!!
