Some of my favorite Japanese restaurants in New Jersey include Komegashi in Jersey City and JoSho in Somerset. I would have to say if I really want good Japanese Sushi, I go into NYC. Komegashi has two locations in Jersey City. The original one is in the Exchange Place area while the 2nd branch is in Newport Mall area. Both are good and you should really try the daily specials. JoSho has some interesting selections on their menu and you know it's super authentic if they offer natto on the menu. So I usually get a maguro natto and a chirashi sushi box (one of the best selections of chirashi boxes I've eaten IMHO). They also have red bean mochi desserts which is a definitely rarity in New Jersey. I've also been to Minado in Little Ferry but you've got to get there early or else all the good stuff goes away. I went on a weekend and while it was good, it was scanty. (Edited by pavlova27 at 1:20 pm on Feb. 5, 2002)
