Sushi den

You're killing me. I'd kill for some good Poke right now. Do you use sweet soy? A friend of mine used to make it with sweet soy and this special kind of ground up nut. It was unreal.

I never use sweet soy sauce. I'll probably start using the low sodium soy to control the saltiness. The ground up nut is the Kukui nut. It adds a nuttiness profile and some oil, too. High in Omega-3, so of you consume too much it acts like a laxative. PM me if you want a recipie or two or three.

Admit it, you were serving people spam musubi and poi. I could go for some laulaus and manapua right now though.

I was at Schofield for three years and got a little into sushi there and got to have some in Saitama, Japan too. One thing I noticed there is that the nigiri was about 3/4 the size it is in the states, made for one bite without the stuffed chipmunk cheek look. The fish slices were thinner too.

Spam musubi is a local staple. Great after a day of surfing. Anyone can make Spam musubi. Easy. Fresh frozen poi is expensive here, but apparently it's more $ in Hawaii, go figure. There's an Asian market store in downtown Denver at Sakura Square that sells Laulau, Kalua pig(make at home with liquid smoke and slow roasted pork butt/Boston butt, and other Hawaiian foods.

I am a fan of sashimi and sushi. I actually went to Sushi Katsu for lunch today. It is average sushi, but no wait at all.
Sushi or Izakawa Den is probably top 50 in US for sure. However, I do not go there now.
[Personally] I am not gonna wait 2 freaking hour on weeknights to just eat sushi. I am not 100% sure, but think those people who drives Ferrari or Lamborghini to Sushi Den tend to not wait in line. IF that is the case, how come I cannot get a reservation, but they can?

I've went to Nobu to Masushisa in CA which tops Sushi Den, but waited much less.

So far, my top sashimi and sea food in US is Pacific Fish Center

I found a great Mom&Pop sushi bar in Panama City Beach, FL that's still my favorite in the states. Old Japanese couple from tiny village outside Osaka. Very nice people, great authentic sushi.

Has anyone in Westminster/Broomfield been to "Ooka" on 120th, for comparisons sake? It is mine and my wife's favorite by a long shot. Hapa in Boulder? I'm sorry, but it's not even close to Ooka quality. I'm just curious how it stands up to the Sushi Den and Blue Moon....

Had Ooka a few times recently and they're really good. But for my money, I'd take Sushi Yume on 104th and Federal any day of the week. Unfortunately we moved out of their delivery area when we moved to Broomfield.
