Who would have thought there would be a good sushi restaurant in this land-locked town?
Anyway, I've been to this place twice, and the food is fantastic. It's very Japanese without being kitschish. The greeters, waitresses and chefs are friendly and accommodating. I chatted up the sushi chef at the bar once, and watched him put together two matching Nama-chirashi boxes. Absolutely beautiful!
I recommend getting the Spanish Mackerel sashimi. They bring it out tossed in a light dressing; after you gobble that up they will ask if you want the rest of it (the skeleton, fins, and remaining meat on the fish, which until this point is a garnish) deep fat fried - say yes. It's fantastic, and about as Japanese as you can get.
One new thing I tried here was sea urchin sushi. Its fatty butteryness is a new favorite.
I've heard from several other people that this is the best sushi restaurant in town, so I'm glad I didn't have to look far and wide for my sushi fix. They have tempura, teriyaki, and other standard Japanese fare if you don't like raw fish.
