Hey! It’s another “no shit sherlock” post. If you like sushi and you live in Seattle you’ve probably been to Musashi’s, or at least driven by it’s super long lines. The restaurant may be the size of my bathroom, but Musashi’s continues to have the best bargain in town for real cuts of fish. No fancy fusion rolls, no mayonnaise rolls, just (huge cuts of) fish and rice and tea. Oh they have some meat dishes and bento boxes but who cares about that!
And since it’s summer, waiting outside isn’t a trial so much as a mini-vacation.
This chirashi bowl is only twelve dollars or so. Look at those cuts of tuna! They’re even bigger when ordered as nigiri. There’s some scallops and some albacore and some hamachi in there too. Definitely a full meal.
Just a simple yellowtail roll. Copious amounts of gari, all for less than 2 dollars. It’s clean, the rice has that hint of vinegar that is so necessary.
The place is cash only so remember to stop by the bank before heading there.
Bonus trivia! You know why most sushi places are closed on Mondays? It’s because they can’t get fresh fish on Monday. So be wary of places that do serve raw fish on Monday, you might leave with an unpleasant experience.
