Final Test

I recently had a chance to visit Hana Restaurant in
Seattle. Hana has a very low-key vibe on top of Capitol Hill on
Broadway. The place was packed on a freezing Tuesday night in
February. I sat at the sushi bar and got the check list from the
sushi chef. They had a wide ranging menu from rolls to nigri. I
asked for what was not on the menu that was fresh. The sushi chef
reccomended Oysters to Geoduck (Seattle natives know Geoduck). I
had a piece of both! Perfect! The price was based on per piece and
was made by the chef each time (not a conveyer belt). I will
definitly go back to Hana. For more information visit the link

What to Look for in a Sushi Spot?
People! Especially a Japanese crowd. Typically a sushi place that
has great sushi attracts Japanese eaters which reminds them of
sushi restaurants at home.
The sushi restaurant should serve many types of sushi including
maki, nigiri, sashimi, and chirashi. This means the sushi chef is
skilled beyond the typical California roll. Also by offering raw
fish this shows the restaurant is confident in the quality of
fish.
Quick Points:
1) Miso soup is key! You will know good miso by not too much
saltiness, full of flavor, and quality ingredients.
2) Well known sushi chef. Reputation is a must.
3) Welcoming atmosphere. Talk to the sushi chef, establish a re
pour.
