Though I really enjoy sushi I’m careful where I get it. Like some of you I never buy it from the supermarket or any other place that sells it pre packaged. And I don’t bring leftovers home from the restaurant either (though it very seldom happens that there are any)
We’ve been going to the same sushi place for years and know everyone there. Imam is the head chef and he is a gifted Itamae. His sushi creations are amazing! He has a knack of combining different fish, veggies, cream cheese, fruits etc that is an absolute treat to the taste buds!
Often we won’t order a specific item, we’ll just tell him “surprise me” and add a detail or two,…feel like spicy, want something sweet, need lighter fare etc. He never disappoints!
