Some would say this is the run of the mill sushi

1. Sometimes you want sushi and don’t want to spend big money on toro or uni so you go to a joint that has standard sushi.

   My last day in Puerto Rico and found this place that has very good sushi. If I get to come back I got a new favorite spot.

   Snapper, salmon, escolar, yellow tail, tuna, salmon eggs and a spicy tuna roll.

2. I wish this was my mill then

3. “Traditional” Edomae sushi.

4. What do you mean by that?

5. I love tobiko and flying fish roe. It’s like a smokey explosion of goodness.

6. I kinda agree, but it looks good. As long as you enjoy it, it doesn’t matter what I think or anyone else

7. The fish might not look like the brightness some might look for but that looks like a good set to me!

8. Nope, Perfect!!!

9. It is. But it is also run of the mill delicious sushi.

   Not every meal must or should have a Michelin star.

10. Looks like your typical, but delicious, nigiri combo of the usual suspects (tuna, salmon, yellowtail). This is my go-to order when I’m craving sushi! However, since omakase has risen in popularity and become somewhat of trend, I find that many restaurants have begun marketing their standard nigiri combos as “omakase”. This isn’t exactly wrong, I suppose, since they are still the chef’s selections, but I do feel it questions the integrity of the term. For me personally, I indulge in omakase experiences for special occasions, and expect more premium ingredients and fish, such as uni, black caviar, waygu, otoro (extra fatty tuna), king salmon belly, etc.
