Sushirrito,

I want to put you in my pocket and bring you home.  I like your glorified hand rolls, simple menu, and unique flavors.  I will visit you again next time I'm in sf. 
  
Latin Ninja (salmon, mango, avocado, asparagus, radish, meyer lemon, pickled red onion, cilantro, green onion)

It was fun biting into all that sushi.  I can eat one right now.

Three Amigos (tuna, salmon, hamachi, tobiko, avacado, asparagus, cucumber, radish, green onion)

still good, but not special. i wish they gave wasabi and soy sauce.

Hog Island Oyster Farm

hello again San Francisco! It was fun visiting family and friends again. My brother inlaw drove us about an hour and a half to Hog Island Oyster Farm. They brought us there years ago before I fully appreciated raw oysters. We did the whole bring your own picnic, relax, shuck your own oysters, it was great. Recently I started enjoying oysters a lot more, so I requested a revisit to Hog Island Oyster Farm. Luckily we made it there just in time for 4 of us to slurp up 2 dozen atlantic oysters. definitely not enough, so 50 more to go please. :)

 Tip: if you decide to bring home unshucked oysters, a shucker would be just dandy.

Medium Atlantic Oysters

$1 fresh oysters.  awesome! 

no shucker = hammer + screw driver + wood chisel + blisters = still worth it

my dear Yuraku,

Please don't ever go away. This is the best value sushi I've found anywhere.   This was roll night, but usually we order a sashimi deluxe boat as well.  Here are some of my favorite rolls!

Spider Roll (top), Punk Rock & Roll (bottom)

eek. I'm getting so hungry posting this.  If you like tobiko, there's a mouthful for ya!

Alligator Roll (top most), Spicy Tuna Roll, (middle), Salmon Roll (bottom left)

Sorry, don't have a good picture for the alligator roll, but it's shrimp tempura topped with eel and avocado.
I'm not usually crazy about spicy tuna, but look at the generous portions!
Also why you can't go wrong with the salmon roll if you like salmon like we do.

Nabeyaki Udon

We've made it a habit to end our meal with a bowl of tasty udon here.  mm. satisfaction.

Some kind of lobster roll? (on the house, after our meal)

Salmon Head (freebie appetizer)

oh yeah, did i mention the awesome value here?  you get salmon head, some veggie sticks and dip, salad w/ ginger dressing, steamed egg and miso soup (see below).  I think what you get for free is supposed to depend on how much you order.

Steamed Egg, Miso soup (freebie appetizer)

this reminds me of one of my favorite steamed egg dishes my mom used to make.
i must request this next time i go home..
