Kaga-sushi

This small restaurant serves excellent traditional sushi with mostly-raw, top-quality ingredients, but no maki rolls. A reservation is a must unless you're a regular. Expect to pay $50-$100 per person. A good experience here requires more rules than elsewhere, but if that seems like a lot of hassle, you won't enjoy the experience anyway. - Realize that the biggest issue is that while the chef speaks some English, the wife speaks very little. Don't make complicated demands and be respectful. - ***MAKE A RESERVATION*** in slow, simple English. The wife usually seems to take the calls and mostly after 6pm. If you drop in and they don't already know you, expect a high chance of being turned away. - Be adventurous to get the most out of eating here. Consider the chef's choice menu (omakase). They may be opening up just to serve you, so it's not really a place for a quick bite. - If you don't want awkward silence, figure out how to strike up conversation with an older couple with limited language skills. He seems to enjoy chatting about world travel, among other things. Compliment the food you really enjoy.
