Self picked nigiri: Hamachi, Salmon, Tamago, Toro (preferred in that order) all 2 J's comment > all the fish were fresh; the hamachi and salmon had no tendons at all, but the toro was downright chewy - it was definitely not cut right; tamago was good too, but was served cold and I don't know about you, but the color just doesn't look as appetizing as Octopus Garden's; too much rice to fish, rice also on the soft side |

Aburi salmon battera (seared salmon pressed sushi) - 2 J's comment > this was ordered to compare to Minami's signature Salmon Oshi Sushi; not even close... fish was OK, but there was way too much sauce (tasty, but everything in moderation! Except butter...); anyways, another sushi w too much rice. WTF... I'm starting to see a trend here... |

Yamaimo Tazaku (mountain potato stick) - 2 J's comment > crisp like a pear, but w a slightly sticky slippery texture; FYI, this is what tororo comes from when the Tazaku is grated |

Saba battera (mackerel pressed sushi) - 1 J's comment > mackerel when not done right, or if not fresh enough, is well, just fishy, case in point here...; Octopus Garden nailed this dish, Ajisai most definitely did not; BTW, did I forget to mention there was too much rice? |

Ankimo (monk fish liver) - 1 J's comment > reminiscent of a foie pate gone bad; similar flavor (the liver), but oh so different |
