Message: | Shibucho's owner is named Shige. There was a guy named Shibuya who was great and friendly. He went back to Japan about a year ago supposedly to train his son. He is supposedly coming back here in a few years and will open a place in Gardena.
As for Nozawa, the fish is very good EXCEPT I hate the scallops in a mayonnaise sauce that he gives you and I don't care for the consistency of the sushi rice.
Tsukasa has a nice selection of cold sakes as does the Studio city restaurant Asanebo. Asanebo even brings in a cold sake that has some cache as the label supposedly makes just a few cases a year, they don't export (someone brings them bottles from Japan) and the Imperial family, allegedly, buys up most of the output.
When Shibuya ran Shibucho, there were tons of cold sakes. Shige prefers wine, although for years he would counsel against drinking wine with the sushi, preferring to sip the wine on its own afterwards. However, serving it with the food must be better for business.
