| Oomasa
gives you a nostalgic feeling when you go
into the store. That is understandable, considering
that this sushi store has been in business
for over 130 years. The fragrance of vinegar
once you go through the doors stimulates your
appetite. There is an oval shaped sushi counter
in the middle of the store, where friendly
sushi chefs greet you. Again, there is a dignified
ranma on the sushi counter. This is actually
imported from Japan. The taste and spirit
of the experiences as a sushi chef in Japan
is seen everywhere in the store, and you feel
like you are really in a sushi restaurant
in Japan. |

The
Oomasa special chirashi sushi is as attractive
as it is delicious. There are over ten different
types of fish, including maguro (tuna), hirame
(flat fish), salmon, ikura (salmon roe), and hokki
clams. The fresh and thick slices lie on a huge
bed of sushi rice. The low price of $16.00 for
this much food is simply amazing. “Expensive
and delicious food is a common thing,” says
the current owner. “But I want to give something
else that is different to my customers.”
Therefore he is constantly thinking about how
to obtain cheap and delicious ingredients. The
chirashi sushi has high-end fish, plus a few more
other fish, so it is very economical. Oomasa is
also known for their very good sushi rice. Each
grain of rice has a luster, and is very soft.
Every bite you take is filled with the sweetness
of the rice. Fresh, delicious fish on top of tasty
sushi rice. This chirashi sushi is definitely
something you should try.

would like to introduce the popular Oomasa combo
set as well. With tempura, teriyaki chicken,
sushi, salad, sunomono, rice, and miso soup,
it is only a reasonable $11.00. This is a favorite
among the locals, so much that at lunchtime
there is a huge line outside of the store. Most
of these in line are repeat customers. Oomasa
prepares piping hot tempura sauce, so when you
dip your freshly fried tempura in it; the sauce
penetrates through the breading and melts in
your mouth. The teriyaki sauce is an Oomasa
specialty. It is not heavy, but a rich, sweet
and spicy sauce that goes well with the chicken.
There are other items on the menu, so I suggest
you come out and try them. |
