But I go to the same ones over and over and yes it;s delicious but I'm wondering if there is anything with the quality of 15 east, Yasuda, Kanoyama that has come along.. I do not put Ushiwakamura, Azubo (sp) megu etc in that class. So hopefully someone has a new great place for me to try.

I just read something about Uo, but it sounds like it's cool because it's secret location but a bit trendy on the food Thu Oct 22 19:17:11 -0700 2009 5118207 118604 foodwhisperer 1 5118747 This is not a new spot, but Jewel Bako is by far the best sushi restaurant in the city. Get the sushi omakase at the bar - it is unbelievable. Tue Oct 20 19:27:10 -0700 2009 5118147 145758 canopy 2 5118951 I think you'll get a lot of disagreement on that. Jewel Bako usually isn't mentioned with the top places. To the OP, I think Kurumazushi belongs in the list with Yasuda et al. It may be the best of them all, although the most expensive. Of course, it's the opposite of "new" since it's been around for more than 30 years.
