NYC: sushi heaven

New York (home of the infamous Sushi Memo) is the place to be for sushi. I can’t believe I only managed to eat it once this time around. I need to go back! At least the one place I went was plenty delicious. Mishima had many veggie choices on the menu, making it hard for me to choose. I finally decided on an avocado roll, a spinach roll, and a gobo (burdock) roll.

I chose the burdock because I couldn’t remember what it was, even though I had the feeling I had had it before. It turned out to be a rather mild root vegetable that resembled little carrots, but it was wrapped in shiso, a kind of Japanese mint that I encountered many times during my trip to Japan. The first bite reminded me that I don’t like shiso, so I shared these rolls with my dining companions.

At least my other rolls and the miso soup were delicious. I’d definitely go to Mishima again. It was great food in a nice environment at a good price.
