Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

The culmination of a four hour adventure: at Daiwa Sushi. Fancy places in LA, NY or London may have their fish flown in daily from Tsukiji, but this stuff is carried over and was often alive 30-120 minutes before it hits your tongue. Everything was amazing, best ever, blah blah, but what was notable for me was that, with the exception of the toro, nothing tasted even remotely like it did at sushi places in SF, Vancouver or NY: the spanish mackerel wasn't fishy and it melted in my mouth, the hokkigai wasn't rubbery or chewtyand had a very distinctive umami/savory flavor. Worth the wait, and very cheap at about US$50 each for the superdeluxe omakase plus a couple of extra a la carte items with (many) beer and tea.

Should have thought of it, but there are lots of great photos of Daiwa, both inside and out, already on Flickr.
