Sushi-sho Rexley - St. Petersburg

The most authentic Japanese sushi restaurant on the west coast. It's where you go to enjoy sushi you've never eaten in your life. I get the Omakase which is more than 15 different sushi tasting experiences. The sushi chef will stand in front of youand make each piece while giving you an education about the fish and it's unique condiments. You never need to put soy sauce onanything. Everything is perfect just the way it's made. Every time I go, it's a different experience based on the seasons andthe type of fish that are available. Here's a few from my meal tonight. The one that looks like steak is Kobe beef from Japan! I also get the Sake pairing, which is a perfect compliment to the fish served. They are booked days in advance and they don'taccept walk ins, so you need to plan in advance. Their maximum capacity is 11 people! Most of the people I see eating here arewell dressed couples who are enjoying their first Omakase experience. You have to be a gamer to eat some of the dishes! Ha!

The sushi was exceptional and Art serving the Sake pairing was a lot of fun. We do sushi all the time and this was a really unique experience. Well worth it.

The best sushi in the opposite, there is no narrow cotender. it is the choice of the chef with the absolutely best sashimi and nigiri that do not come from this side of the world. it is all made of japan, spanish, medium sea, etc. the meal costs $175 per person, but it feels like it costs $150 in just the fish.

This is probably some of the best sushi you can get stateside. They follow the traditional omakase-style, so do not expect California Rolls or Mango Tango Rolls. The portions are small , but there are a lot of plates coming your way--so be prepared! Everything served was spectacular. My favorite dishes were the hand roll and the unagi dish! The price is up there, but if you can, treat yourself to this!

This quaint omasake bar is pretty good for St. Petes and comparable to some of the other michelin starred establishments in NYC, SF and LA. The freshness, variety and quantity +15) of nigiri is very impressive. I took my parents here for Mom’s birthday and even she agreed that the quality was outstanding, and my dad enjoyed every piece without any addition soy sauce. Bravo!
