Sushi in the Avenues?

[Larry Stein]

My usual go-to spot is Shimo on Clement & 25th. Is there better or as good in the area? My tastes are fairly traditional when it comes to sushi. Fish quality is paramount. I don't like weird combo rolls just for the sake of being different. Actually, I tend to go more towards nigiri or chirashi when I order, and skip rolls entirely.

Thanks!

The little neighborhood spot that I adore is Tanuki at 6th and California. Traditional, good prices, warm service.

My bofriend and I had a quick lunch at Tanuki once a while ago and it was fine. We liked it but never thought to go back. Last night, we had dinner there and had a wonderful meal. We had a simple dinner: hamachi sashimi, side order of tempura. Sashimi was good, we would have liked the tempura to be battered more lightly.

What really stood out to me - we ordered the shitaki nigiri and an eggplant nigiri. Delicious. The shitaki was grilled then some ginger on top. Same with the eggplant. I liked the combo of temperatures. I would have never guessed to enjoy vegi nigiri so much. We arrived about 6pm Saturday and it was very full. Happy to re-discover this place.
