I went for sushi at
I Love Sushi in Santa Cruz. The owner always brings customers a sample of a sushi roll or some edamame. It was a very satisfying lunch, the chirashi was wonderful and as you can see below it was very well presented.
This was one of the best chirashi I have had in a long time. The only thing I usually see that I was missing from the chirashi was a small shiso leaf holding a little dollup of tobiko (Flying Fish Roe).
Chirashi is a bowl of sushi rice with an assortment of fish "scattered" over the rice. In most sushi bars they put way more rice in a chirashi rice than you could possibly eat under the fish. At
I Love Sushi they only put as much rice in the chirashi as someone might actually eat....

A couple of the other fancy roles that were ordered were the Godzilla Roll and a veggie tempura roll with yam inside. Both rolls looked and tasted good.

I like how they present the sushi on different shape plates. It makes the overall presentation at the table more interesting.
