Mirai Sushi

Dear Friends and Family,

We went out to celebrate my new weight tonight.

Mirai Sushi has the distinction of being our local sushi joint. The sushi quality is excellent, as to be expected. And, the prices are in line with the location and the fish quality. I guess it's true about getting what you pay for.

The bluefin chutoro was most excellent - like having a piece of butter cream atop the perfect amount of rice. The rice clearly plays a secondary role to the fish in the nigiri here.

We ordered two of the special maki - a spicy mono which is spicy octopus topped with spicy tuna and an unagi trio which is eel and avocado topped with unagi and sweet unagi sauce. The two rolls were very well composed. The texture of the octopus and the tuna offset each other well and the spicy mixture has a nice spice without being too mayo-y. The unagi was also very well done. It's a pile of eel with eel stuffed in the middle. If you love eel, this is the roll for you. I love eel.

The only disappointment in all of this? They don't carry mackerel. I've been having a serious mackerel craving.

Overall rating: 8/10
