"Yes, I’ve heard you say all Japanese restaurants are essentially the same. They all serve raw fish with rice . Possibly some cooked pieces of beef or salmon and miso soup is always on the menu.

re: experiences
I'm not a fan of uni or amaebi but when it's good I'll eat it. How were the scallops at Sushi Nakazawa? I like those plates that O Ya used for their dishes, glad to hear that the staff knew the menu! -MW
cannot specifically remember the scallops
But the fish was all exceptionally fresh and well prepared The presentation at O ya was exceptional ( incl the crockery) Interestingly the decor at Sushi nakazawa was much more formal Julian
comparing the two experiences
Both dining experiences look great. Did you like the Boston place better than N Naka in LA? Regards, ED-209
