"I went on a Tuesday, really craving the raw stuff. I wanted something fresh, light and meltingly tender. And in this awful heat, something cool would be awe-some. I walked five blocks from my office to Jinpachi, muttering as I ambled along. Sweating like a roasted pig by the time I got to the small joint, I collapsed onto the bar. Yeah, me, very graceful. I picked up the menu, perusing its contents, even though I knew what I wanted. Some sea urchin here, some salmon there. Mackerel, halibut, scallop and squid are welcome as well. Each slice was placed gently on warm sushi rice. The rice itself was yummy and with fresh fish on top…drool. The highlight was definitely the uni – mildly sweet and slightly briny. I ended up ordering another 3 nigiri pieces. The total came out to be about $60, including tip and tax. But with such high quality fish, it falls within the expected range. Service was prompt, if a bit solemn and cold. But otherwise, it was a fantastic meal."
