A couple of weeks ago we took our daughter out for her birthday. There's a sushi place in San Diego that she turned us on to last year that was so good we went back again this year. Basically, their go-to meal is what they call omakase, which in Japanese means "I leave the details up to you." You sit at the sushi bar and watch the chef go through a pre-determined sequence of dishes. This place is pretty small, maybe six tables and room for eight or ten at the sushi bar. But it's gotten a Michelin star for the past three years. Pretty food if you like this kind of stuff. All the plates are really small but they eventually add up. You start out with a small bowl of miso soup, then the good stuff starts coming.
