Sushi at Sushi Sho, El Cerrito USA

O-toro 大とろ and Ikura イクラ (Salmon Roe)

Sushi Sho is a local sushi restaurant since 1983. Sushi from Sushi Sho is always made by Aki-san. That's why he only serves at most 6 people at a time at sushi bar. This is the first time I visit Sushi Sho, and Aki-san completely changed how I will eat sushi in the future.

Before he serves you your order, he teaches you the proper way to enjoy your sushi. Some people call him "Sushi Nazi" because he is very strict about how you eat his sushi. It was a unique and educational dining experience. He explains what is the best way to enjoy your sushi. For example, your taste bud sense from the surface of your tongue so you should flip the sushi before you eat it. That way, the fish will land on your tongue and you can fully experience the freshness and flavor of the fish.
