Try to describe sushi without using the words: fresh and buttery and "melts in your mouth" . It's not easy but tonight's meal certainly opened my eyes in the world of higher quality sushi. This is the complete opposite of the mentality of the Kyoto sushi buffet house next door.
My mentality before japango consists of getting the best price to quality ratio enough to fill me up. I thought that all sushi beyond the regular supermarket prepackaged sushi was "good enough" for me. Good thing I was wrong.
The deluxe sushi combo ($30) that came was plated very nicely with assorted decorations such as chrysanthemum flowers, thinly sliced limes and a wide variety of sushis. Aside from the salmon and tuna, each of these sushi have their own specific cut and delicate yet bold flavours on top of a lightly cooled tangy sweet rice which I really loved. The ratio between the amount of fish to rice ratio is perfect. They definitely weren't trying to skimping out on the thickness of each sushi.
This was an eye opening sushi experience for me and I am eager to try out other higher end sushi places now. To me this was a fair price.
Unfortunately I have to take out a star due to the format and layout of the store. I was stationed less than half a meter away from the open door on a cold January night. Which means I ate my dinner in my winter jacket.
Anyhow keep it up japango! Would come again!
