Crazy Sushi, San Francisco

Both these nigiri have such a beautiful pink color.  I loved the maguro, and I recommend maguro nigiri to all the novice sushi eaters out there since I think it’s one of the least fishy tasting.  Maguro is readily available at sushi places and is more forgiving on a squeamish palette.  I’m definitely no sushi expert, but I try to eat out of my comfort zone.  That’s why I tried the suzuki, and I’ll say that I’m not a fan.  Perhaps Crazy Sushi’s cut wasn’t fresh, but it had an odd flavor that did not agree with me.  I had to dunk that piece mulitple times into the soy sauce to get it down.

I love the free side salad at Japanese restaurants with the familiar sesame, ginger dressing. Yum!

And what’s a sushi dinner without some Japanese beer? Sapporo is my prefered choice, hehe!
