Anybody else ever been? This place seems to be completely off the map net-wise but I've been told to go there by reliable friends in the Japanese community who've promised me the corner in front of the head chef. I have to host 2 others for a business dinner Tuesday night, and so I was hoping to report back to my fine friends here on eGullet. Will it break into my top 10? :wink:

186 views and no responses tells me I should STFU and report back....developing...

No one would ever tell you that you should STFU raji. Do report back, however.

:cool: I'm preparing myself for a Shimizu-like experience - nothing mindblowing but very dependable edomae nigirizushi served in an understated environment. Omakase should clock in around $150, which is around what I used to spend at Esashi.

You could spend that much at Esashi?! I wonder if they've been able to find somewhere else to open, or whatever became of the owners.

Actually now that I think back the most I think I paid there ordering omakase was around $70 to $90 - maybe $150 was for 2. I wonder what happened to that guy too, he was pretty nice. I like going to Sushi places where you don't feel like you are paying off a massive renovation.

That about sums up the Tsushima experience. And like Shimizu, they're doing a lot to bring in a good expat lunch crowd as well.

I used to go a lot after having Tsushima recommended to me by a Japanese friend of mine. It quickly became a favorite when I could go there with 2 of my friends who would order the incredible $30 "Ladies' Set" - essentially a slightly downsized version of their normal omakase. Alas, that deal is no more.

Would love to hear an updated report since it's been about 2 yrs since I've been.
