  1. i went to sushi yasuda with my girlfriend and her dad last night. even though i don't eat fish they had quite a few amazing vegetable rolls and the overall experience was amazing. the unfiltered house sake was probably the most incredible alcohol i've ever consumed. i would highly recommend this spot to anyone in ny. probably the closes to the 'jiro dreams of sushi' experience that you're going to get in the states. i'm going to try kajitsu soon. i can't wait for that.

    Yasuda's style isnt typical of what you find in Japan. His new place in Aoyama is getting so so reviews. 15 East, Azabu, Ichimura, Kanoyama, Kurumazushi is the closer to Jiro's style in NY.

    The new chef at Kajitsu isnt very good, focuses too much on starches, doesnt feel comfortable using local produce or ingredients and deep fries every other course, despite the frying technique being very sub par. I was a regular since they first opened, and I gave up after two months in with the new chef. There was a course that was his interpretation of nachos. Deep fried artichoke leaves with avocado dip. You know how on cooking shows where contestants get dinged on hard to eat courses, this was one of them. It's kaiseki, I shouldnt have to chew and spit out hard leaves. I knew one of the preps there, and they agreed the course was awful, everyone else in the kitchen thought it was awful and they pretty much gave their notice because of it.

  2. H Lorenzo means LA, no?

    Herp-Rajio: please advise on good streetwear jap mags, I was looking at cool trans and street jack but there must be something where people look less like gaylords...

    Woofin, but its more of a guilty pleasure, I love hip hop gyarus

  3. Although, damn do you guys like to crank the heat indoors. Its like a 102 in every restaurant and department store

    Japanese people are just cold all the time. I went snorkeling with the misses in Hawaii and she was complaining how cold it is, it was frigging 80s out.

  5. thats really awesome

    can he bring you secret custom unreleased chip flavors?

    Alot of their Japan/Asia flavors are made in the US. I emailed them once about Curry Rice flavored chips being available in the US.

  6. I've sat in front of Yasuda, back when he was in NY. Sloppy nigiri, and he rushes you, like he puts out like 2-3 pieces while you still have like 1-2 pieces on your plate left. He's only nice to regular ass kissing fat americans who order like 30-40 pieces of nigiri. With so many great sushi places in Tokyo, why go to a place where the itamaesan has never trained in Japan?
