Anyone know a good restaurant for special sahimi? Not just the usual tuna, salmon....

[Double Underhooks]

what kind of sashimi are you looking for?

[Rodney]

Probably toro, amaebi, makuro, uni... Bwi Bwi is a big spender.

[phatwop]

Tojo's, Octopus' Garden, Fuji Sushi, En.

[Double Underhooks]

Theres a place called Honjins at the Yale Town end of Davie St. which is not bad. Its actually Japanese owned and is across from the Urban Fair.

I think they have what Rod mentioned plus miragai and other things.

Damn, now I'm getting hungry 

[BwiBwi]

Mirugai, live Amaebi, toro, I can prepare those myself.

What I'm looking for Aji, Madai, Kanpachi.....

[Double Underhooks]

You're right Rod, BwiBwi is naming stuff I haven't even heard of

[Rodney]

Aji shouldn't be too hard to find... I've seen it before, can't remember where...

Madai... I doubt you'll see it here. If you do, it would be awfully expensive.



We used to catch them (snappers) in Australia, big ones too.

used to catch kanpachi in Australia too. I actually prefer to catch those than salmon. Once you try it, you'll know why.



Hungry?

[BwiBwi]

Damn, I knew we should have moved to Australia 
So anyone, any suggestions?

[marmot]

I cant say this with enough enthusiasm...

there is a little sushi shop on 16th just west of main street in vancouver.  Its called toshi sushi.  Toshi, the owner, used to own sushi village up at whistler, hes a world renowned chef. He opened Toshi Sushi thinking it would be a nice , small , relaxing way to retire, i think, but hes busy every day, for good reason.  Its affordable and the dishes Ive had there taste just as good as what you get at Tojos....you wont find maguro gomazuke anywhere that even comes close!

Plus, toshi is a really nice guy.

[BwiBwi]

Hei thank you I'll give that place a try.
Food is King. 

[BwiBwi]

Oh and do they have good sashimi?

toshi's is a nice little joint, but the owner himself is not a sushi chef. he's more known for his kitchen dishes, which are amazing. the nasuden and agedashi tofu are freakishly good. the sushi, is at best average. hiroshi's sushi creations on 22nd and oak is more creative and tasy in my opinion. tojo's..c'mon. the guy is untouchable...., expensive but worth it. he's sponsored by  kumai harvest rice (the premier japanese rice) and mac knives, that alone speaks volumes of his sushiness.

Try Yoshi Yoshi. Extrememly expensive, but its worth it. It's so good.
