Yasuda-san used to work at Hatsuhana in NYC, but now that he has opened his own restaurant he is free to focus on the key elements that make his sushi great. He tells me that the rice is exrtaordinarily important, and the results show it. He works very hard to achieve perfect rice and he marries this rice with the right amount of fish, etc. to create great sushi. Your comment about balance is very important. Yasuda-san knows about balance. He also knows about fish. Go during peak toro season and you will have the opportunity to taste 5, 10 or more types of toro. He's a god. (and appropriately strict about his art.) I agree that Sushi Yasuda is one of the best restaurants in the US for sushi (and whatever else they choose to prepare.)

Not only is good sushi tasty, but it's great to actually experience dining instead of the common American 'wolf it down' mentality. Over here, we tend to go for quantity over quality and we are lessened by it, in my opinion. I love that I have found something that I can appreciate while I eat it instead of just feeling that i'm filling my belly. Cheers, Warren The <a HREF="http://www.sushifaq.com" rel="nofollow">sushi</A> guy. Thank you :)

Impressive. By reading your blog, I could easily imagine what sort of sushi you ate at Sushi Yasuda. Like you said before, sushi may not be for everyone, but I feel happy to see an American have a love for a part of my culture like I love some of American culture. You may really be true Sushi Otaku!
