Time In: 7:00 PM
Time out: 7:45 PM
Server's recommendations: Shimaaji
What we ordered: Shimaaji, hamachi, sake (salmon), tamago, pickle roll
Number in our party: 2
Final check amount: $29.36
Notes:
- They have a small menu -- all they do is sushi. And they do it WELL.
- They do not have any kind of fancy gaijin rolls like the "sexy roll" or "dragon roll" or whatever. This is OG sushi. They don't have California rolls.
- The salmon nigiri was the best we've had in San Diego.
- The recommended shimaaji was also delicious.
- The atmosphere is a bit intimidating. We felt like we should be on our best Japanese behavior, lest we offend anyone. For example: we whispered. I (Miko) felt like I shouldn't write anything in my Convoy Conquest binder once we ordered. And we knew it would be tacky to ask to split the check, since it would cause the restaurant extra hassle.
