The Largest Market I’ve Ever Seen The Tsukiji Fish Market is famous for one of the largest tuna auctions on the planet. 

Almost every single day of the year in the early hours of the morning the world’s biggest tuna fish are auctioned off to sushi purveyors from around Japan, Asia, and more.  A limited number of tickets are available to see the actual auction, and tourists are required to get there at 4:30 in the morning to score one of the limited spots for the day.  sushi yoshi menu columbia scSince most metro lines don’t run that early, I decided to go later in the day, right as the market was closing.sushi las condes cantagallo Finding the market was relatively simple, just follow the fish smell and other tourists heading into the large creepy looking warehouse past a row of small restaurants and shops.  yo sushi delivery nw3

If there are tons of acetylene powered lift carts rolling around, you’re in the right place.  Further back is the actual market, in which the amazing catches of the day are on display and are eventually near sold out by closing time at 10:30am. So Many Tasty Items Now, having said that I want one, the one thing I actually would like differently is the prices.  sushi in suhl streamenAlthough I am not sure of the units they measure the cost in (per kilo, 100 grams, etc), the listed cost for any given item was significantly higher than anything I would like to purchase myself.  ninja sushi menu yuma azWith it being the freshest and best seafood in the world, however, I guess you can’t expect anything otherwise.jiro dreams of sushi pronunciation

Of the random creatures that were found in the market, only a few could be distinguished as ones I actually recognized.  Squid, eel, octopus (both living and dispatched), many kinds of tuna, jumbo tuna heads leftover from the days catch, geoduck, clams, mussels, shrimp, prawns, random fish, and more! It is dizzying to try and count all the unique kinds of creatures that are available for purchase.  So instead of buying some yourself, it is much easier to go to a nearby sushi restaurant and seek out some of the freshest food on your own in prices that are a bit more suitable for anyone’s budget. Those nearest to the market are the most expensive and have the longest wait, but a short walk away opens up spectacular deals. Thanks to a new friend I met at the market I ended up at Sushizanmai (a 3-story 24 hour establishment) thanks to a quick phone call to his dad and had this spectacular feast for under $30 US!Book Your Hotel Today!

En Sushi is not in the same league as Raku when it comes to robatayaki cooking, and the sushi won’t make anyone forget Nobu, Hachi or Sen of Japan, but for a neighborhood place located in the middle of nowhere (i.e. the far ends of the Anthem earth), the food is mighty fine indeed. As you can see from the tasty snaps, some of the dishes — potato-stuffed corn, smoked portabello mushrooms, skewered pork, fresh, dressed tofu — mirror what Mitsuo Endo does twenty (it seems like a hundred) miles to the northwest. But those izakaya standards seem a bit rougher cut, and not as fine in flavor as the same items done on Spring Mountain Road.We at ELV don’t think so, since Mitsuo Endo (chef/owner of Raku) first came to Las Vegas to open En Sushi. What drove him to open his own joint is something we’ve been too polite to ask of either him or the owners of ES, but the good news is robata cooking has made it to the neighborhoods and both renditions are more than worth a special trip.

We could do without the fake crab in the shrimp starter salad, and what is touted as “fresh wasabi” looked and tasted of a horseradish-y jalapeno. (It was probably wasabi-marinated diced cucumber.) But the sashimi was as bright and well-sliced as any you’ll find off the Strip, and we’re still dreaming about the marinated and smoked duck — almost like duck “ham” in texture and taste. There are hits and misses throughout the menu, but some don’t miss items include: those smoked and lightly grilled portabello mushrooms, fried shrimp dotted with fish roe, hamachi with jalapeno in ponzu sauce (the definitive Nobu dish copycatted to good effect), and lightly grilled pork belly, slightly sweetened with miso. Forget the virtually tasteless fresh tofu salad (just what is the appeal of flavor-free bean curd draped with innocuous seaweed and bonito flakes anyway?), and the fake wasabi still bugs us,* but on many levels, from the clean, stylish interior, to the professional and welcoming management, to the sincere attempt to bring the best of Japanese cooking to the ‘burbs, En Sushi outshines just about any restaurant in this entire quadrant of the Vegas Valley.
