I was so sure that I had posted about the partial re-birth of Cafe Sushi before, but danged if a feller can’t find it. While he (the feller I mean, not I) still looks here are my comments.
I composed my own delivery omakase tonight:
Branzino (straight up)
Branzino with iced onion slivers, sesame sauce, and daikon sprouts
Salmon belly with ponzu
Santa Barbara uni (unadorned, clean, sweet, excellent)
Sea bream with wasabi oil, a touch of lemon and a grain or two of rock salt
Cured tuna, with yuzu kasha and scallion
Spicy scallop handroll, a cone with slivered cucumber, scallion and sprinkled tobiko
That was the order in which I, on sober refection, ought to have eaten the food. Greedy pig that I am I ate things randomly. [But, in my defense, I did engage in culinary cogitation – or what substitutes for thought in my case – those of you are experienced thinkers: is the feeling similar to passing gas? – after.]
Everything was exceptional. To quote our great @Amandarama “I am sadness” at the passing of the original.
But, hey, if some of you can get off your fat wallets and spend a buck or a hundred here, perhaps we can get them back to their previous glory.
Talking sordid dollars: With dropping $55 on an excellent bottle of sake and $24 on the uni, the price was $140. [ETA: before tip and delivery charges.]
. Your meal sounds fantastic though! Had some very solid DIY omakase sashimi delivery from Umi here in town - sayori, kinmedai, salmon, toro, and uni with some rice on the side. Hit the spot!
