Chiso - so good!

We hit Chiso in Fremont last night for some yummy sushi. And some yummy cocktails -they have a great ginger-pear martini and a killer mojito. We also sampled some decent sake - the nigori is the first unfiltered sake I've ever had - it was milky and reminded us of ouzo (which made us go 'Opa!' as we drank it, much to the amusement of people around us :))

We started with a large order of edamame - it was a seriously large bowlful and took us some effort to finish it off :) *so* good!

Obviously, we had to eat the spicy tuna roll - very good. The tuna was super tender and very flavorful. The negihama (yellowtail and green onions) was great - a first for me, I really want to try the yellowtail nigiri now! The futo maki was delicious - the gourd was a lot tastier than I expected. Apparently, the maguro and spider rolls were pretty happy too.

I just checked out the menu and they seem to have a pretty large non-sushi menu too. Can't wait to head back!
