Sushi Sasabune

I live practically across the street from Sasabune.  They weren't open for lunch for a very long time, at their new location.  I had been to a much larger Sushi Sasabune on  the opposite side of Wilshire, from where they are located now.  This restaurant is small and busy but preferable due to the warmness of the people that work there.  They hold a sense and pride for what they do.  Rightly so, with the expertness of the sushi chef's skill and the quality of fish.  I hadn't had ono for a very long time.  I first ate the yellowtail, but then the ono.  I overheard the gentleman next to me order a second ono dish.  I would have too, but I stuck to a budget, and this was a New Years treat for me.  The ono was buttery, as you can see in the photo, and delicious.  I savored it in my mouth.  With sensitivity to enjoying the food, the servers never ask you if everything is okay when you have taken a bite, right?  This has happened in my past experiences at other Sushi restaurants, but not here.  I ordered a field of greens salad that was beautiful colorful along side the green tea drink, again, in the photo.  I also ordered  tuna to round out the flavors.  It was a beautiful meal.  I really enjoy the delicacies of Japanese culture and dining experience.  It puts me in a Zen state, just where I want to be.  Sushi Sasabune received the highest ranking for a restaurant to achieve.  I can see why and can't wait to go back
