I love Sushi! :)

This is the story of the best sushi ever. A couple years ago I worked at this bar in NW Portland and there was this place that had Happy hour all day and it was called Sansai. It was pretty cool looking place and I would walk by it every day.  I decide one day for my lunch I get me some sushi. I walk in and I am instantly greeted by the host/ waitress and she was a cute lady who I soon come to be a good sushi buddy. I get seated at the bar  of this room that used to be a garage but turn now a hip little sushi joint. There was this Asian man who was the chef and he looked like a man who even if the food was bad if you didn’t say it was great he would cut your head clean off with his razor sharp sushi knife and make Sashimi with it.
 To my surprise he gave me a big smile and greeted me. As much as I noticed the restaurant he noticed me walking by daily. We of course talked about me working crossed the street and how much I love sushi and I was excited to try his restaurant out. He gave me the warmest look that he respected ever costumer that walked in to his restaurant individually with their own respect. Not this generic greeting that most places you go to.

I put my order of Tempura California roll with real crab, fresh avocado, cucumber, and tempura deep fried. You can tell this man has spent his life making sushi. He didn’t even look at what he was doing and I couldn’t even keep up with how he did things before he sent it away to be deep fried. I also ordered a Spider roll, which has soft shell crab fried, avocado, cumber, wrapped in Nori, rice and Masago (smelt roe). 

Within minutes my food was on my table and ready for me to devour. Now this is my first time I ever had deep-fried sushi so the fat kid in me is like, “YIPPY!!” The first taste was amazing not to heavy, all the flavors were amazing and it was probably the best thing known to man for me. Sex on top of the moon with Barry White singing in my ear could be the closest example to the complete ecstasy of love I had with this Sushi roll. The next bite was the Spider roll and it was huge and the legs were pointing out the side and it looked scary and sexy at the same time. I find if you can make something that terrifying to the eyes taste amazing, you are a gift to the culinary world. The combination of crunchy and sweet, and salty as the smelt eggs burst between your teeth was amazing.

 By far the best experience in sushi I have ever had. As I got my bill and see that my meal was less than $10, I lay a 20 and said my good byes. This was one of the best sushi I have ever had.
