I am very picky when it comes to sushi and sashimi. Sushi Sasabune really impresses me when it comes to freshness and quality of their ingredient. I am so in love with their toro, melts in your mouth! The fish is what's keeping me coming back.\r
However, I am not too happy with their rice. First of all, I am not a big fan of the warm rice, I still like it the traditional way. Second, they mix diff. sauces into the rice on many of their sushi. Sauces are delicious in a way, but the taste is too strong, makes it very difficult to taste the fish. Also, because many sushi have sauce mixed in the rice, the rice ball become very loosely packed. \r
I will not recommend the omasake because it is just sushi after sushi, and they charge based on what you had. I always order a la cart so I can be sure I am getting the sushi I like.\r
This place is definitely not a romantic dating place. It feels more like nice lunch spot in business district. It is a little pricey, normally cost me around $70/person w/o alcohol.\r
Although it seems like there is more con than pro, but I still keep going to Sushi Sasabune whenever I feel like having some good sushi.
Pros: fresh ingredient
Cons: deco, price
