The lobster miso soup at Jabistro was something else, best miso soup I've had to date. It was $5 if I remembered correctly.
Got the kyukyoku ($45 and usually it's $55 but they ran out of 2 types of fish so 11 pieces became 9 pieces). I primarily came here because I was missing Japan. Also, it was close and I wanted toro. This set had Toro.
Toro - not good
Quite disappointed in the piece I got though. It had stringy parts to it. I couldn't bite through it and I ended up needing to spit out the stringy part. I know there were better cuts because I saw that another table was delivered a set with a nicer piece of toro.
Shrimp- can not see the shrimp
For the shrimp nigiri that I was given at Jabistro, I couldn't see the shrimp.. I dare u to look at the picture and tell me which one the shrimp is! Lol, it's the one that looks like it's got nothing on it. It also didn't taste like anything except a dash of soysauce and sushi rice. I know it's supposed to be shrimp because the waitress introduced each of the pieces when she brought the plate. I think it's very strange considering that for the other food pictures on Yelp, I could actually SEE the shrimp. Did they run out and cut the shrimp into granular pieces? No idea. Maybe they forgot to put the shrimp on the rice. Very possible.
With the other pieces, they were pretty good. I particularly liked the rainbow trout and seabream ( I believe it was).
However, personally, I don't think I'll be coming back. I also just went to Ayoyama recently and I'd dare to say their sashimi & sushi is more fresh. Try Ayoyama some time :) it's really nice and more price effective. It's $97 for their omakase set which comes with over 20 pieces of sushi. It also has more variety. (It's for 2 people).
But if I was ever feeling a deep craving for sushi, I'd guess maybe I'd reconsider coming back...? (the other pieces weren't bad hmm...)
Nvm forget that train of thought.
I'd bus up to Ayoyama and eat sushi there. Lol!
