"Sushi Yoshizumi is one of the most coveted reservations in the Bay Area and for good reason. Chef Akira Yoshizumi specializes in the centuries-old Edomae style of sushi from Japan, which refers to a style of food preservation that doesn’t rely on refrigeration. This subsequently affects how cuts of fish are specially cured and how rice is prepared with akazu, an aged red vinegar. Yoshizumi’s intimate omakase experience embodies an unexpected simplicity that lets the fish speak for itself. Though the courses feel more down-to-earth than most other high-end sushi spots, that’s not to say there is a lack of intricacy in Yoshizumi’s work. He hand-selects all of the fish and crafts each course based on seasonal ingredients." - Cathy Park
