I only went here because it was a group event.<BR/><BR/>For sushi in Japan, Mizutani and Jiro would be on the top of my list personally. Kyubey is also worth a try. Check out the Michelin guide for some more ideas: http://servicesv2.webmichelin.com/frontnews/servlet/GetElement?elementCode=53045<BR/><BR/>As for my camera, I use a Fujifilm FinePix F30, a three year old compact camera that's achieved almost legendary status for its high ISO performance. I shoot in manual mode, macro, ISO400 or ISO800, at the widest zoom setting, 8mm at f2.8.kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-25981608061559510572009-02-22T22:17:00.000-08:002009-02-22T22:17:00.000-08:00First off, awesome reviews (review and pictures) o...First off, awesome reviews (review and pictures) of restaurants all over. I first came upon your reviews by reading your review on Urasawa before my own visit. Loved it! I then came up your review again through tang1bro and exile kiss's blog. You guys all seem to share the same passion for good eats in LA and Japan. I will be going to Japan in a week or so and would love to try Fugu. My main question is how much was this set menu for Fugu? Also, regarding sushi in Japan, what place do you recommend or has the best sushi? I've been to Urasawa and Zo, also will be trying Mizutani after reading exile kiss's review. Lastly (sorry for all the questions), your pictures are awesome. What camera do you use and what setting is it on?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!gordonbiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535521171981060794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-63488202448004360572008-06-20T22:14:00.000-07:002008-06-20T22:14:00.000-07:00Nope.
