NARITA AIRPORT TERMINAL 1: Kyotaru Sushi... the absolute worst sushi I've ever had in Tokyo! Mushy Mushy RUN!!!!

Was leaving to visit my dad in Florida and was lured into Kyotaru sushi by their super delicious looking plastic sushi models.

WoW! Looks sooooo yum

Lots of pictured selections

Individual sushi pieces

My Maguro-Mori 1,180yen + 8% Tax

This is what I wanted...

This is what I got...

Every piece of this sushi was so incredibly mushy...  I honestly believe it wasn't fresh at all.  Below supermarket grade yet charging much more.  I wanted to give up after a few pieces... but eventually leave that white looking piece of sushi.  Was just aweful!

The only thing worth eating on this entire platter was the tuna rolls.

And so I'm off to Florida with my new little Sony AS100V.

OMOTESANDO: NARF Bar... simply fantastic!

NARF!  Little did I know how cozy awesome this bar was.

Meg and Nanako... the owners of NARF.

I met Nanako in 2007 during the CLSA Tokyo Forum... she was just an intern at CLSA and now a full fledged banker. Finally had a chance to check out her and Megs new bar in Omotesando

This place is just a gem.  Large windows, high ceilings, super friendly owners and the customers all so very friendly cool... If in Omotesando you must go!  Its located near Le Baron.

OMOTESANDO: Sushi Izakaya Hachibei... so well balance we went twice! Sushi and Izakaya all in one spot.

This has got to be a first... I've never found such a well balanced restaurant serving sushi and having a great selection of Izakaya food items.  Went twice in a month with visiting co-workers from our Asia offices.

Tuna (Akami) in rolls and regular sushi style.

Panda Sake... not too shabby.

Long counter seating with a great view of the 4-5 sushi chefs, table seating along the wall and one private dining area,

Zukemaguro... seasoned Tuna sushi.  Gotta try this!

My 1st time with a co-worker from HK and UK.

Lots of Sushi selections.

Now my 2nd time with 2 ladies from HK and my Japanese boss... Was so glad she did all the ordering.  We tried so many interesting items.  Negitoro, Toro-Taku and Cucumber Anago was a hit!

Fresh "new" potatoes. 

Huge beans!

Zukemaguro (seasoned tuna)

Bamboo

For my company dinners I always order all the desserts... this night had a scoop of every ice cream one the menu.  Strawberry, rose and berry?

If you ever have foreign guests this place is a must!  You can indulge in proper sushi from the sushi chefs, eat casual Izakaya items and they even had Yakitori and beef items.  I'm sure I'll be back here for another company dinner.
