my friend was so shocked at the prices he demanded to see the itemized sushi list. and within in a couple minutes shigue supplied the list with all the prices. and dessets aren't even free, i think they were about six bucks a pop. things like the toro or sea urchin were written in since they depend on the market and can fluctuate per what shige told me. also, the sashimis that i saw on our lists were all at least $10 minimum each. though i think the nigiri zushi were anywhere from $4-5 (save for toro/uni/etc.) maybe we got ripped off, i'm not sure what the deal is, but usually at good sushi places such as tsukasa and saito's the toro sashimi runs about $12, which why i was pretty shocked myself. and the uni handroll was the pricest handroll i have ever had. I don't know. Now that i think about it maybe we really were ripped off. but i still have to admit the sushi/sashimi is very good, definitely much better than saito's and even better than tsukasa. also at tsukasa the bill never amounted to more than $50-60 (not incl. drinks but inc. some sashimi, butterfish, etc.) whereas at shibucho you can easily hit a $100.
