Something FISHY is going on here

Whenever the weather is warm and sunny, one of my go to foods include sushi. In this instance, Chirashi from Sushi Go 55.  Sushi Go 55's featured item is their "famous chirashi" which is an assortment of raw sashimi including tuna, yellowtail, octopus, and sweet shrimp. Chirashi in Japanese literally translates to "scattered sushi". Alternatively, I think it could be called "beautifully displayed sushi" because it is visually appealing when you first set your eyes on it. It's the sort of feeling you get when you're presented with a gorgeous cake that you can't possibly eat but proceed to anyways because you know you can't store it in your glass cabinet. And if you do, you're weird and your cake will probably get really moldy and you'll find that the decision to keep it rather than eat it was not very thought out. 

Anyways back to chirashi, it doesn't have a fishy taste and is definitely a dish that taste as good as it looks. The dish is split into 2 stacking containers. The top is the assortment of sushi and the bottom compartment contains the vinegar rice.

Portion size it's perfect for an individual, you could share...but why would you want to?  Also prepare yourself for food coma if you are particularly sensitive to carbs (like me), but in the end the meal was worth it and enjoyable. Servers were attentive and the food was delicious.
