What to order
- Omakase — Chef's choice, in sequence. The best way to eat at a good sushi restaurant and usually better value than ordering the same number of pieces yourself.
- Nigiri over rolls — Fish and rice, nothing else. It is where the skill is visible.
- Whatever is on the specials board — Seasonal fish is the whole reason to eat here rather than somewhere else.
- Ask what is good today — At a counter this is a normal question with a real answer, not a test.
How to spot a good one
- Rice at body temperature, not cold — Shari should be just warm, lightly seasoned with vinegar, and loosely packed. Cold, dense, unseasoned rice is the clearest sign that the kitchen is treating sushi as an assembly job.
- A short, changing selection — A menu listing sixty kinds of fish year-round is buying frozen commodity product. A board with a dozen things that change is buying what is good.
- The rolls are not the point — Nothing is wrong with a dressed roll, but a restaurant whose menu is mostly elaborate rolls with three sauces is selling something other than sushi. Look at how much space nigiri and sashimi get.
