Matsuyama

I have to say I am a SUPER-FAN of Japanese cuisine, especially the sashimi! Every week (or I should say almost everyday) I am craving for sashimi for no reason. Matsuyama is one of the places where I can satisfy my sashimi craving, and I've brought EU with me today because I always mention this restaurant to her, telling her that it has always been one of the places where I can get good sashimi.

• right size; not too big nor too small; reasonable prized

Saba & Tai Sashimi-6/6 for Saba, 4/6 for Tai (since I'm not a fan of Tai)

• $10.95 for 9 pieces
• they don't have 1/2 serving; you have to order 9 pieces at one time!
• fresh
• Tai is not as soft as Saba (to me)
• most of their sashimi are $10.95
• EU thinks their sashimi are a bit expensive
• they are cut in pretty big pieces, but are definitely not as big as Banzai's
