Asanebo Sushi – Studio City

I haven’t been to Asanebo for about 6 months but it’s still as amazing as ever! Sadly Chef Tetsuya wasn’t present for my recent dinner but having served by him before, I know he has an amazing staff to take the helm when he’s not around! Chef Hyu served me last night and he did an exceptional job!

I ordered a variety of nigiri, rolls, and dishes to experience items haven’t before. Everything is simply outstanding. Fresh fish, perfect rice, delicious sauces and flavors that don’t overpower one or the other.
