Sushi at Sasabune is a true joy because the fish is extremely fresh while the restaurant is relaxed and unpretentious. The restaurant’s motto is “trust me” because it’s omakase (chef’s choice) only, and that’s how sushi should be enjoyed. At Sasabune, you are in good hands with Chef Kenji Takashi, so you will be served the best selection of sushi. His specialty is the blue crab roll that ends the meal, but there’s lots of delicious nigiri zushi (hand pressed sushi) to enjoy beforehand. The plates just keep coming until you say no, so feel free to ask for more.
