the best sushi i have ever eaten

UPDATE - SECOND LUNCH PICS ARE ON PAGE 3

i spent a week in Tokyo gorging myself on sushi a few weeks ago. i had an exceptional sushi meal last year that changed my life. there wasn't much upside left, so the revelation was smaller, but this meal below was the best i had to date (i had a 2nd lunch that was even better - next post.)

sawada - ginza - 6 seats - omakase only (no ordering) - starts @ $500/person (depends on the day's ingredients)

for those that have been to Urasawa (LA), or Masa (NYC), those would be 7-8 on Sawada's 10 point scale.

How big were those shrimp?? That food looks delicious... and naturally I'm intrigued by what the 2nd set of food was.

Are you a developer, or is this another ubuntu you're referring to?

tractorcrusher - shrimp were about a foot long - huge! while i do develop, my ubuntu reference is to a restaurant in Napa - here's my last blog entry: ChuckEats Ubuntu (Napa, CA) – Something Wonderful

fuel&fire- yes, you do, you won't find *anything* like it on US soil (and i've tried)

Damn, Chuck. Thanks for sharing, though us uneducated ones could only identify a few items.
