Sushi

“He has incredible sushi rice (which is changed every two pieces).”

“I personally think Tsunoda san(Noda) does a better job at technical execution than Uino san with their Sushi Kanesaka style, probably the best shari in NYC.”

“Their shari is out of this world”

“The best sushi rice I’ve ever had.”

“It’s moderately priced but he gets in a nice variety of seasonal fish and the rice is excellent.”

“I’m very particular about the shari rice and the chef is very mindful of it with a special blend of Yokoi akazu”

“Overall, relatively less flavorful shari than icca / sho and less vibey.”

“Spots mentioned above are all great but I personally really like Noda or amane (post shion departure), specifically because the chefs here use stronger flavored shari without overwhelming the palate.”

“Their sushi rice is on the more vinegary side (my preference) and everything there is really fresh and reasonably priced.”

“The shari is more sour whereas Shion’s is plain.”

“I haven't thought the rice needed more or less of anything in the past, but I guess my band for acceptable rice in sushi is pretty wide.”

“Last time the sushi rice was borderline mushy. More like dried congee.”

“i went here recently and the rice was very gummy/tacky. was shocked that it wasn’t quality controlled since i assumed sushi chefs are very careful about their rice? fish quality was good but the rice was bad throughout the meal”

“Masa definitely the worse considering the price $$$$ the nigiri to me is very mid considering its price and the the rice was extremely hard that day I visited..”

“Overall, relatively less flavorful shari than icca / sho and less vibey.”

“I usually don't mind vinegar heavy shari but it definitely had an unpleasant after-taste at Sour Aji (and I definitely was drinking sake).”

“The rice is also very bad, which is a very important component of good sushi.”
