Sushi Sasabune

Quite simply some of the best sushi I have ever eaten. This coming from a decade-long resident of Japan. It is that good. For many years we lived down the street from a very reputable Tokyo sushi-ya, but that was minor league ball compared to this stuff. While Sasabune can’t beat the freshness of sushi at, say, Tsukiji (NOT to be confused with this Tsukiji), the preparation is world-class elite. We sat at the bar, feet away from genius. Every dish was on the level. The pinnacle for me was the tai with a bit of its marinated liver floating on top. The uni, my favorite of all nigiris, ran a close second. You will pay top dollar to eat this sushi, and it is worth every penny, perhaps even more.
