  Sushi Earrings & Candles

  08.04.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  At the Powell Street festival there were many fun things to buy, such as tea and sake cups, kimonos, hand-made greeting cards and lots of baby stuff. But what stood out for me were the playful sushi earrings and candles.
  I think the earrings are super-cute and affordable, although it took some convincing to get Sunny [...]

  Powell Street Festival

  08.03.11 | Permalink | 1 Comment | By Jonathan

  The Powell Street Festival celebrates Japanese culture and is the only time that I willingly hang out in Oppenheimer park. This year the weather was hot and sunny, the crowd was big and the merchandise was fun. There was dancing, drumming, and of course, eating! Unfortunately the lines for the food were long and you [...]

  Dishes @ Miku

  07.29.11 | Permalink | 1 Comment | By Jonathan

  These are some new dishes for me at Miku!
  The sashimi salad is amazing value and quite huge, packed with very small pieces of salmon and tuna. This is not suitable for someone who doesn’t like one or the other (true story). The gyu tataki was gorgeous to look at and the meat was excellent, one [...]

  Hapa Umi

  After hearing mixed reviews of Hapa Umi, and as a die-hard izakaya fan, I was nervous on my first visit. It was immediately obvious that umi concept is to take the hapa we know and elevate it to the level of fine dining. That means no noisy yelling in Japanese, a fancier, quieter room [...]

  Somehow it took me eight months to visit Suika, an izakaya at Broadway and Fir, opened by the owners of Kingyo, one of the best izakayas in the city.
  Like Kingyo, Suika has a charming, well-lit interior, an attentive staff and an exciting menu. The sake list is better than most and the fresh sheet is [...]

  I never get tired of the deluxe chirashi don at Sushi Zero One (@sushizeroone) on Pender. Nor do I get tired of posting photos of it!

  Guu Garden Loving

  02.13.11 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  I am sending my Valentine’s day post out to Guu Garden, as it has stolen my heart from the other Guu izakayas. It feels like a well-kept secret, an elevated oasis offering a rare bit of tranquility downtown, and there is nowhere I would rather be on a cold and rainy night. The service is [...]
