Photos from Wasa Sushi, Newport Beach
A couple of friends of mine read this blog, and follow me on Facebook (see sidebar –>), and as a result have seen many photos from my visits to Gu Gu Sushi. A couple of weeks ago, we decided that we would have a sushi exchange program. I would visit their favorite sushi establishment and then we would all go to Gu Gu and see who had the best sushi. Last Saturday, I joined them at Wasa On the Bluffs, in Newport Beach, CA.
It was a fun ride there and back, and the sushi was good. They are more of a traditional sushi bar, and I tried things I have not seen or tried at Gu Gu. Our chef, Taka, was a friendly chap as was the rest of the staff. All in all, a pleasant experience. I like the dab of hidden wasabi they seem to add to every roll.

A Great Honor
It is no secret that I have a sushi dependency. Unfortunately, just any sushi will not do, I have become spoiled. I was in Nobu in Las Vegas a few weeks ago and tried one of their rolls. It was okay, at best. For me, it is Gu Gu Sushi and Roll or nothing at all. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to return after three weeks of no Gu Gu. To my surprise I saw they had created a new baddog roll. It is made with cream cheese, deep fried shrimp, avocado and cucumber topped with smoked salmon, capers and white onion. It is delicious!
My photo of the day for Day 208 is of me getting ready to try it for the first time.
