| - Easily the best Japanese in Calgary.
I pity the suburban Calgarians with their view of how "great sushi" is done. I was horrified when I first moved to the prairies.
Zipang more than made up for some of the atrocities I came across.
The food in genuine, and delicious. I appreciate the daily features, along with the penciled in nigiri options. The fish is the freshest in the city, with varying options based on what was good that day. This is the type of japanese joint you'll want to try something you've never tried before.
I enjoy sitting at the bar, watching the chefs work. When something I've never seen pops up, I usually order it.
Their black cod, along with the salmon jaw are honestly some of the best things I've ever eaten. If I was broke, and begging for money, and I had to choose something to eat, I would save up my pennies and get that cod to lift my spirits.
Their premium sake list is pretty good as well. (Something I generally don't find in Calgary)
I would sincerely suggest the bar, the fresh specials, some new nigiri, and a bottle of sake. Date night figured. You're welcome.
