Tango Alpha: Keeping Busy at Yotsuba



Tango Alpha reports to us on the latest sushi hut he's found in the Middle Kingdom:

"When in Beijing don't just go to your average commoner Japanese restaurant which is probably operated by some Chinese comrades. Go to one place and one place only: Yotsuba. Yotsuba is the best sushi restaurant in Beijing and some people will even go so far as to proclaim it's the best sushi this side of the East Sea. Granted I'm sure once I get my feet in Shanghai and Hong Kong there will be some serious on-point sushi over there as well. Nevertheless, our emergent city of Beijing does have this one gem which I might add will take any NYC sushi restaurant to the test. The owner is the sushi chef and a fish importer much like at Kuruma in NYC. His omakase is quite spectacular and for around 400rmb including two bottles of sake you just can't go wrong! Once again we are getting ripped off in NYC like a Broadway show in Vegas! Keep in mind reservations are a must since this joint only has 7 seats at the sushi bar and one tatami room for private dining which seats about 6. When in doubt kick it to China and watch out since this epicenter of sushi might knock you out of your capitalist delirium and back to your senses!"
