Maruyoshi Sushi

“This is a beautiful blooming bowl with over a dozen different seafoods — crab, shrimp, eel, mackerel, salmon, sea bream, and the highlight pieces: akami (red meat tuna) and otoro (fatty tuna). The rice is slightly vinegared with incredible sticky texture. I dip the fish in soy sauce — the otoro just melts on your tongue, liquefying in the oil of the fat. The marinated tuna tastes exactly like poke from Hawaii, with soy sauce and sesame oil. The generous blob of wasabi makes me tear up a little, but I love that burn — it enhances the flavor. Everything is incredibly fresh and the variety is stunning.”
