I've been going to Sagami since I was a little girl in a high-chair. This place is amazing it's exactly what sushi in Japan is like. I've been to Japan and honestly, Sagami is better then places I visited while there.
The great thing about this place is it's authentic. Everything is fresh, the rice is constantly made so it's perfectly room temperature with just a touch of traditional flavoring. The fish is like butter. Each bite just melts in your mouth.
I always get Sushi A when I go there. I ask for no shrimp and they substitute the shrimp with another piece of heaven. The Sushi A comes with miso soup, salad with a ginger dressing and your pick of ice-cream at the end. I always go for the green tea, chocolate banana or rum raisin. Before the meal comes you get a little taste of glass noodles with cucumber and vinegar to get your taste buds flowing. YUM!
Hot tea comes with all meals and the Sushi A comes with one tuna roll and assorted pieces of sushi over rice. NOW, this may sound boring to some but that's only because you haven't had good sushi.
Each bite is like heaven. Perfectly room temperature and the fish is so fresh it just melts in your mouth. This meal is so good you almost want to have it again the next day.
Everything is made to order so be prepared to wait a little bit for your meal to arrive. The women and men who work at Sagami have been there for a lifetime.
They are amazing people, hard workers, and make you feel special once you have arrived at your table. These women wear traditional Japanese attire and zip through the two rooms like butterflies.
I've moved to LA and let me tell you. I miss Sagami more then ANYTHING on the East coast. Sorry family and friends.
I haven't found a place like this over here and I don't think I ever will. I can't wait to go back and visit - SAGAMI I MISS YOU!!!
Pros: Authentic Japanese, fresh, delicious, great service, BYOB
