I always thought it was hard to find good authentic Japanese food in America. My dining experience at Sushi Ichiban Kan, however, has proved me wrong.

The fresh sushi and sashimi at Sushi Ichiban Kan are simply superb. The sea urchin (uni) in particular is the best that I have ever eaten. In addition to the seafood, the meat dishes at Sushi Ichiban Kan are also excellent. Their filet mignon is perfectly done and extremely tender, and the accompanying sauce is a perfect complement. The flavoring of such popular menu items as fried chicken and the various teriyakis are mouthwateringly delicious. The salad and homemade dressing are finely matched and wonderfully tasty.

No matter what you order, you will not be disappointed at Sushi Ichiban Kan. The restaurant gives meticulous attention to and effort into the purchasing of the freshest ingredients, quality control, as well as preparation and cooking methods: And it shows. Their use of miso, yuzu (a kind of Japanese citrus), and sudachi (another Japanese citrus) creates authentically Japanese flavors as well as adding nice aromas to Sushi Ichiban Kan’s unique dishes. Over ten kinds of homemade sauces and dressings are made fresh every day. Making every effort to serve only the very best food without cutting corners is the standard at Sushi Ichiban Kan. The restaurant is even very particular about the water they use, and only uses π water not only for drinking but also for cooking. One can only admire such disciplined and uncompromising approach to quality.

In addition, the restaurant has more than ten varieties of sake to choose from. You will always leave happy and content after dining at Sushi Ichiban Kan. Next time, I will have to try one of their most popular and appetizing looking seafood items, “Spicy Garlic Albacore.”
