| Mizu is located
in Mission Bay where breathtaking scenery unfolds
before you for as far as your eyes can see. The
bright and dazzling California sunshine sparkles
over ocean riffles and the laughter of people
enjoying cycling or walking fills the air. Mizu
is right on the bay in the midst of this wonderful
setting. While the area feels like a remote paradise,
it is easy to access Mission Bay. When you exit
at Sea World Drive from I-5, or at W. Mission
Bay Drive from I-8, it is less than a couple of
miles to Mizu on Mission Bay. There are many luxurious
resort hotels in this area such as the Hilton,
Hyatt Regency Islandia, and Bahia Resort Hotels.

Whether you are alone on a
business trip, a family vacation, or a romantic
getaway, Mizu provides wonderful meals in a
casual atmosphere. When you are relaxed and
comfortable in a setting complete with bright
sunshine and glorious ocean views, you feel
relief from all travel fatigue. Although parking
spaces next to the restaurant are rather limited,
there is a large free public parking lot across
the street. Since Mission Bay is a tourist district,
parking regulations are very strict. So take
advantage of this free facility. |

Daily Specials from the Kitchen & Sushi Bar
Experienced chefs select the freshest ingredients
each day in order to offer daily specials from
both their regular kitchen and the sushi bar.
The photo shows an example of one of their daily
specials: ¡°An appetizer of the day¡± from the
kitchen.
These are fresh baby scallops with ¡°dynamite¡±
sauce. This sauce is rich and slightly sweet
yet has a zing to it. The dish is accompanied
by salsa made with tobiko (flying fish roe).
The combination of spicy salsa and sweet baby
scallops is just heavenly.

The tobiko in the
salsa stimulates your appetite with its unique texture.
You can also combine this dish with some vegetables
for a refreshing taste. With an appetizer like this,
your expectations are raised for what is to come.

Temptation
Mizu strives to create deep and rich flavors
by combining four of the five basic tastes (sweet,
pungent, sour, and salty). The five kinds of
sauce that are used in the Temptation not only
add gorgeous colors to the dish but also depth
to the flavor. Japanese style sesame dressing
is sweet and full of body. It perfectly complements
white meat fish as well as the darker tuna.
Eel and honeydew sauces add mild and mellow
flavor. After the mellow sweetness fills your
mouth, you can spice up the flavor with Mizu¡¯s
stimulating and pungent Korean spicy sauce.

|
| The garlic sauce
may have a very strong taste by itself but it
becomes less heavy and more enjoyable when combined
with other sauces. Above all, the affinity between
these sauces and the components of the Temptation
is just amazing. The crispy batter of the shrimp
tempura and sweet flavor of the shrimp are accented
by the spicy tuna. These are all beautifully
wrapped with thinly sliced sashimi made of white
and red fish. You will enjoy the perfect harmony
of all the various flavorful layers of this
Temptation roll. |
