Sushi Yasuda 204 East 43rd Street, New York, NY 10001is already my favorite restaurant but when it’s super hot in the summer, I want to go even more. First of all, I can’t cook in this weather. Secondly, I can’t eat hot food in this weather either. Thirdly, I must continue my sushi education and this is where I do it. They have the widest variety of fish and are constantly updating that list, so much so that I’ve eaten new fish practically every time I’ve eaten there. If you’re just joining us now, you might want to start from the beginning because each post only talks about the new fish (links below).
So, this time, we tried harvest fish and Great Tile Fish. Harvest Fish (left-front) is in the family of Butter Fish, which are very small and bony fish, so I imagine this took some time to de-bone. It’s very tender. I asked Chef Tomura if Great Tile Fish (right front) looked like Tile Fish and oddly, it doesn’t, no characteristic yellow spots or sloped head, but it is in the same family. The flesh is firm with a nice bounce, but there isn’t much of an identifying flavor.
A Japanese women was sitting next to me and I saw her have a piece of sushi with what looked like grass on it. I asked Chef what it was and they were scallion sprouts from Japan, used as a palate cleanser. We loved it, clean and refreshing, mildly spicy, and very tender.
I highly recommend making reservations for Sushi Yasuda before the summer is over.

oh wow, you really are a yasuda fan. You should get a VIP pass. 🙂
Unfortunately, I realized that whenever I have sashimi, I get stomach problem. What an unfortunate fate…
Kim, they do treat us very well there. I’m sorry to hear that sashimi doesn’t agree with you. =(
Jessica, I love the artistic placement of each of the gorgeous components on the platter, but that wouldn’t stop me from pouncing on it, like a hungry wild cat.
And I, twice, forgot to mention I love the new look!
