Sushi

[blacksmith37]

On the north side , go to "Kyoto", on the west side of I45 ,north of Sawdust (Woodlands). Very nice, I guess family owned.
I started with Sushi in the early 80,s , Sakura (now gone ,would be next to BW 8), Cafe Japan, and a bunch of others.
There is one fish that is "fishy" no matter how fresh ; saba (mackral, king fish, blue fish, etc). In Japan I was told it is an "aquired" taste .

Mark,

You will Love MASA. All of the Japanese at my work, claim it is the best place in town. I have to agree with them on what I have eaten and experienced so far. It is the most Japanese like Sushi Bar I have been too.

I spent a Month in Japan, and that is where I went from Sushi EWW nasty, to Loving it and craving it from time to time.

Jack,
You have great food too, nothing against what yall have going on. I have been eating at Masa for over 2 years, and they have had Sapporro Gold Reserve that entire time. So it's been in town for atleast that long. I am so glad to know you guys are getting it now, this way I can enjoy my favorite Japanese beer too, when I am in your place.

does anyone know of a good sushi place around the Memorial City area?

To me it depends on what you like to eat.

I only eat sashimi with a bowl of white rice on the side.

They got to keep the fish really fresh or else it smells and taste fishy.

Tokyo bowl does have the most consistently fresh fish to me.

p.s. I can't stand salmon.

Good to know that some folks know the difference between sashimi and sushi. I like my sashimi with a little white rice on the side and a small bowl of soy/wasabi. Salmon is ok, if a little strong. Fresh tuna, however, is the shizznit!

I'll have to try masa and tokyo bowl. So far I've only been to Ichi-ban's and the one that used to be on 61st St. in Galveston. Both were tolerable. I got spoiled on good sushi and sashimi living in Japan for three years.

I DO NOT like pickled ginger in the sushi. Ewwwwww

Tako is my favorite sushi, next to Anago.

I like Anago some, the Tako is too tough. The Uni almost makes me gag.
