Nozomi Sushi Like with the previous Sushi Zo post, my first dinner at Nozomi happened over a year ago. Although the dinner had occurred such a long time ago, I always had fond memories of my dinner there. Strange enough, I didn't make a return visit until this past weekend. While going over the new pictures for Nozomi, I still want to present my first dinner in pictures. Part two of my Nozomi post will cover the most recent dinner. If you want a more detailed post, please read DJJewelz's post on this omakase meal. The First Rule Of Fight Club? Always Be Nice to Your Sushi Chef Or Else..... Cracker with Uni, Marinated Squid, and Cream Cheese Sunomono It's just the refreshing starter we needed to whet our palates. And here. We. Go! Kinmedai (Alfonsino with Lemon and Himalayan Sea Salt) I loved the use of lemon and sea salt on this. Tai (Black Seabream with Ponzu Jelly) Madai (Red Snapper with Sesame Soy) Yasu-San Showing Us Our Next Fish: Tobiko (Flying Fish) Our head sushi

Sushi Zo Like with most food bloggers, I have quite a backlog of posts that dates all the way back to 2009. Sadly, with my frequent amount of dining out, the backlog just keeps growing and most of my photos will probably never see the light of day. However, Sushi Zo has been one of the places I wanted to post about. Even though I do have notes that documented this meal, I feel it's easier to let the pictures do the talking with this post. Below was the omakase tasting (chef's choice) at Sushi Zo. Rules of Zo Kirin on Tap Gari (Ginger) When the ginger arrives on the table, you know it's time for some sushi! Miso Soup Kumamoto Oyster Maguro (Big Eye Tuna) Awabi (Abalone) Uni Cuttlefish Noodles with Ponzu and Soy This dish was quite delicious, though I personally love sea urchin roe. Hirame (Halbut) Aji (Japanese Mackerel) Hotate (Scallop) Shiro Maguro (Albacore Tuna) Hamachi (Yellowtail) Toro (Big Eye Fatty Tuna) Kampachi (Amberjack) Ibodai (Butterfish) Amaebi (Sweet Shrimp)
