Sakanaya

Great new sushi restaurant; omakase without breaking the bank.  There are only 2 menu options -- omakase with or without sashimi ($100 or $80, respectively).  

Here's what we had in our omakase without sashimi:
1. Appetizer trio -- daikon with beef (good), sweet potato (good), miso cod (a bit dry)
2. Shima aji (striped jack) with the usual scallion, ginger topping
3. Salmon with skin and sesame (very good)
4. Botan ebi (sweet shrimp) with herring roe
5. Chawanmushi with fried shrimp head (chawanmushi was decent but not special, fried shrimp head was yum)
6. Red snapper (surprised me on the upside)
7. Hirame (Fluke)
8. Chutoro (medium fatty tuna)
9. Uni topped with herring roe (one of my favorites)
10. Ikura (salmon roe) over rice, topped with some crunchy bits (crunchy bits made it especially good)
11. Miso soup with mushrooms and tamago on the side (soup was a bit salty)
12. Anago (sea eel)
13. Tuna hand roll
14. Matcha mousse with red bean paste

Overall good quality fish, great taste, although rice fell apart on a couple of pieces.  I enjoyed the appetizer trio and sushi but could've skipped the chawanmushi, soup, and dessert.
