For my birthday this year, my wife Mel told me she was taking me to a surprise restaurant. This could be one of the best gifts ever, since I love trying out new spots in Seattle. Little did I know it was an extra special birthday gift, a trip to The Gokan by Musashi! Not only is sushi one of my favorites…heading to 45th Street in the UDistrict for affordable good sushi at Musashi‘s is one of my favorite things to do. So a new place by the man himself that I haven’t heard of, even more exciting.
When you walk in, it is clear that the place is new. I like that fell. High end ambiance with a really nice waitstaff. Everyone is happy, and happy you are there.
Since I don’t drink, I was excited to find out that they had a non-alcoholic mimosa option. It was excellent. I especially liked how it wasn’t too sweet. Just right.
My wife did enduldge and ordered a magarita. She enjoyed it, as the giggles showed afterwards.
The rest of the meal can be seen below. It was a barrage of very tasty sushi and very original presentations. An exciting note is Gokan by Musashi offers a Omakase option for Sashimi and Nigiri! I love this option since I am a huge fan of allowing the chef to feed me what he or she thinks is the best fish options of the day. That is why they are on the other side of the counter!
Usually I finish my posts by saying that we will be back soon. But it is too late for that with Gokan by Musashi…we already went back! And the second time was just as exciting and fantastic as the first. This is a must try Seattle, if you haven’t already.
