| - Domo arigato, Ohashi! If you're coming here *just* for sushi, oh man are you totally missing out! I love me some sushi, don't get me wrong, but I think it's largely a fad and nowhere near representative of the true delicacies of Japanese cuisine. If you want to really explore how amazing and flavorful Japanese food is and get a truly umami experience - order off the non-sushi menu for some delicious Japanese soul-food. [yes Japanese Soul-food is totally a thing].
My favorite dishes here that I've tried so far are the Tonkatsu and the Shrimp Tempura - both absolutely perfect. The Pork Tonkatsu is a perfect iteration of that dish - thin pork cutlets, dredged in Japanese panko breadcrumbs, fried, and served with delicious Tonkatsu sauce - an incredibly hearty and satisfying culinary experience. The Shrimp Tempura is just as good and is fried to airy-light-crispy perfect; a very hard feat to achieve. It's also served with tempura vegetables as well, which were all fantastic.
In addition, they serve great sake and Asian beer as the perfect accompaniment to your [non-sushi] mean. The staff is also very friendly, nice, and attentive.
Again, Ohashi is seriously amazing - whether your a lover of all things Japanese, like me, or are looking for a new culinary experience, you 'll be very pleased!
