It’s Sushi Time
Tonight I was finally able to get to a sushi bar. On my first trip to Japan, the first place I ate was a sushi bar. The second time I came same thing. This time I wasn't able to, but I did finally make it to the same place I went on my first and second trips. Sushizanmai is a chain of sushi bars located in Tokyo, the original is located in Tsukiji fish market. Although it is a chain don't be fooled the sushi here is top notch. We ventured to the one located near Monzen-Nakacho station. It's a small little place with seating for only ten located exclusively at the bar. Sushi is priced per piece and ranges in price from $1 to $5.00 per piece.
Although I can't really go into much detail on how each piece tasted, all the sushi was delicious. There is a freshness there that can't be replicated anywhere I've been to in America. Even at Sushi Ran, my favorite place in the states for sushi, it cannot match up with this place. I feel there is a Japanese sensibility and a way of preparing food specifically for Japanese people that makes it taste better.
