Hot damn!
Sushi places have always been for me a measure of better or worse of fundamentally the same tastes. But this place... this place offered flavors that I have never experienced before, and I don't know how to describe them, but they were incredible. And the presentations were works of art. My wife's vegetable roll had four distinct textures. It was outstanding because of how it felt!
I had live shrimp for the fist time. For those of you who don't know, it's live until they fry the head in tempura batter and serve you the tail raw. Now, I don't know what was in that dipping sauce, but when I tasted it from the serving bowl, it knocked my socks off, like sipping vinegar only smooth and addicting with a flavor that soaks the inside of your head and makes you screw your eyes up as acidic things do.
This is a true five-star place, without reservation.
