Towa Sushi was a surprisingly great find on 4th Street SW in Mission. The space was comfortable with a contemporary wood vibe. Nice place. Chairs and tables, no booths, and not crowded.
The best part? The sashimi was fantastically tender. Melt in your mouth soft. I asked the manager if the fish was imported from somehwere special and he readily admitted it was the same fish that every other sushi restaurant purchases. Apparently it has something to do with the cut and manner of preparation (of course it does, buddy, of course)... Well, truth or not, there was a noticeable difference in taste and texture. Best sashimi in Calgary so far!
My friend enjoyed her salad. The avocado and tuna/avocado rolls were huge, and the edemame was fine too.
Towa Sushi is a great all around sushi restaurant. Only downside? No Perrier, no club soda... Really?
