Restaurant #2 - Nishino

Well, it's the end of January and I've already been able to dine at 2 new Seattle restaurants (my restaurant challenge, part of my New Year's goals). I better pick up my pace if I'm going to make it to 25 by December!

Restaurant #2 was Nishino, the raved about sushi restaurant in Seattle's Madison Park neighborhood. I was incredibly psyched to dine at Nishino. Ever since I hopped on the sushi bandwagon, I've been a fiend for fish + rice, and this place delivered!

Between my mom, sister, fiance, and I, we ordered a plethora of food; hamachi jalapeno, meguro sashimi, spicy tuna roll, salmon with crispy rice, tempura vegetables, and more...For dessert we had a tempura banana confection with sweet sauce - yum! I'm definitely coming back here.

So here's my rap sheet so far.
Restaurant #1 - June
Restaurant #2 - Nishino

Where to next...Suggestions?

    Tempura + bananas = heaven.

    I tried a new restaurant this weekend too. Rootstock, a wine bar run by hipsters and wine snobs. It was awesome.
