[...] servings than their competition), which results in a vicious cycle. So, while we have places like Miku (despite I thought it was overrated) or Tojo’s which would certainly be superior to Furusato, [...]

Mijune, no, this is my first time in Miku and, unless somebody tells me their regular sushi is really good, chances are that might have been my last… The total meal was just under $60 and, yes, its focus is mostly on sushi, though, again, they have hot dishes. It is a proper sit down restaurant so comparing it to Kingyo (despite it might share some dishes) might not be a good comparison. Oh, the nanban chicken is chicken…

Damnit!!! I’ve wanted tot try this place for a while…looks expensive…didn’t you come here a while back ago..when you didn’t try any “deep-fried” stuff??

Also tartar sauce that tastes like ice cream sauce…on fish? that doesn’t sounds good. How much was your meal? Heard it can get quite pricey. Is there a definite focus on sushi? unlike places like Kingyo where’s it’s izakaya/tapas?

Sherman, if you do go, in addition to their aburi sushi, can you try their regular sushi? Unfortunately, I only focus on the aburi…

Holly, they had the plastic wrap on top, most likely to prevent too much moisture loss from the rice and fish. From what I saw, these were served quite fast.

The picture of the sushi wrapped in plastic makes me nervous.

It makes me wonder how fresh can it be?

Hmmm… Looks interesting; but I can’t help but think it’s quite gimmicky. I’ll have to see this for myself.

Ed, welcome! In that sense of the word, I don't do reviews, check here as to why. I don't emphasize prices that much, unless it is something blatantly expensive or cheap. But, since you asked, the breakdown is: natto - $7, aburi sushi - $15, miku zen lunch box - $20, tea - $2 (x2). Yes, they do charge for tea!

Thanks for the great review! I really like your blog! One thing I noticed in this review was that you didn’t mention the prices? Anyways, this place looks like a nice place to hang out for lunch.
