Lunch on anniversary day took place at Sushi Main Street in downtown Half Moon Bay on Miller right off Main. The place has pretty good business and apparently is the local favorite for sushi - but then again there are only 2 Japanese restaurants in the whole town.
Seaweed salad to start - nothing like a bit of pickled seaweed stringies to start things off. Very nicely seasoned (with sesame oil I think), and very crisp.
Yosenabe was second - seafood soup featuring scallops, mussels, shrimps, clams, snapper, chicken, Napa cabbage, and mushroom with Japanese glass noodles. Amalgam of goodness. It's a simple soup base with a pretty chunky portion of ingredients. Good soup!
For rolls, we ordered a Hawaiian Special and a Rainbow Roll - both raw. The Hawaiian Special stars tuna and avocado in "special sauce" and topped off with macadamia nuts. Pretty good roll - the crumby nuts was a good touch! $4.25 for 6 pieces - not bad.
Rainbow Rolls features 4 slices of fish - salmon, tuna, shrimp, and white fish (swai) - on the outside of a roll with avocado and masago (caviar) on the inside. Packed dense and not so much rice so there is more of the fish and caviar - good stuff!
Some rolls are decorated pretty well, but ours were not so focused on that. Good thing about the website for the joint is that they show every single thing they make in picture form - awesome possum! Check it out if you're interested - link at bottom like always.
Very filling lunch with good service and a very polite Hispanic sushi chef. (There are two of them, the other one is ostensibly Asian.) Recommended!
