really good sushi place in Winnipeg? where is that? I've had lots of mediocre sushi, but not much blow-yer-sox off stuff.

Holly molly, I almost flipped when I checked out Masa...$400+/person...Maybe, one day on a corporate account
SushiMaru? will have to check it out next time i make it out that far west (i generally ghetto myself to the west end/wolseley/dwntwn triangle).Ack, I didn't see this post, sorry!
It's called Sushi Maru, just off Cavalier Drive at the west end of the city; they're in a little mini-mall across the street from the Safeway and McDonalds. It's just simple, good sushi. Their phone number is SSH-MARU (I love that!).
Do any of you fine fellas have comments about sashimi that might help me make a dent in a plate of raw fish? What to look for? What to try? What tastes or textures to expect? The best drink with it? Soya sauce and wasabi?
Uni's the best- sea urchin roe. One of the great delicacies of the sea.
The goal for us ugly Americans is to minimize our overt barbarism. A good sushi chef will place to correct and appropriate amount of wasabi between the rice and fish. You may tell him (a woman's hands are considered too warm to make sushi, and aspiring female sushi chefs face a glass ceiling unknown in the American business world) that you enjoy extra wasabi, and he'll be happy to accomodate.
The wasabi you'll find in almost every sushi joint is a reconstituted glob of wasabi powder, as the fresh root is seldom seen. I know some expert (probably Scott) will chime in and mention places like Mesa for the sole purpose of making me sick, where you'll be served the real thing grated on one of these
but they're the exception that confirms the rule.
Ouch.
If you have tried Uni and liked it you are the man.
You also have great knowledge of sushi. Wonderful.
