Sasabune lunch special vs. Mori lunch special

[westsidegal]

tried sasabune's lunch special for the first time this afternoon.
have had mori's many times in the past.

find them both to be in the same league, but

a) imho the price:quantity ratio is better at sasabune
and
b) the price:quality ratio is better at mori.
1) the texture of the fish at sasabune, was, across the board, very oddly mushy.
strangely, the piece of salmon had an almost identical mushiness to that of the albacore..
also, in the fish where you'd expect to get the mouthfeel of oil/fat, such as salmon, it was
weirdly absent.

2) even in a lunch-special tuna roll, i don't expect to see those pieces of white connective tissue
(the ones that have the appearance and the texture of dental floss) chopped up and tucked away in
the mushy tuna filling.

just my two cents.
YMMV

==================

That is that "meltingly soft" quality that many people like about sushi and what I feel is actually the successful formula to the Sasabune empire. Some people use that as a guide to "quality" and start to think all fish should be "meltingly soft". The fish selection at Sasabune is very deliberate however and most fish tend to be on that softer side of texture spectrum (salmon, albacore, hamachi, etc.)

Thanks for taking one for the team!
