My question to Dustin and others that seem to have a sushi fettish.......
Where do I start?
I prefer spicy things.
I love all types of fish, but do not necessarily adore what some call a 'fish' taste.
My favorite fish plates include Orange Roughy, Tuna, Trout (Rainbow and Atlantic), Halibut, Sea Bass, Swordfish.....
So, you see I prefer most that are more steak-like.
Any help?

Stu - Man, you're gonna have a blast! I was only there as a kid but I do remember it was a little different. I'm sure others will chime in about their recent experiences but expect to see some strange things on the menu. One such strange item was horsemeat sashimi. Frankly, it tasted like a cooked steak. Not sure how. It was pretty darn good.
I'd start with sake (salmon). Very mild, buttery fish. The good stuff just kinda melts in your mouth. And if you like smoked salmon (lox), you're gonna love this. It's 10x better.
Hamachi (yellowtail) is also very tame. Same with Maguro (tuna).
I'd start with those. Have a great trip!
