"I loved the salmon version at Kishimoto, where the creamy sauce is balanced with citric yuzu juice and anchored with spicy lashes of cracked pepper and jalapeno slivers."

"ORDER THE: house specialty: oshizushi, impeccable pressed sushi with imaginative flavor pairings. You can’t go wrong with the salmon, served in a jar filled with cherrywood smoke."

"Over on Commercial Drive, regular dinner lineups at Kishimoto attest to the creativity and finesse with which chef Akira Kishimoto deftly elevates the neighborhood dining experience. Kishimoto’s impeccably executed sushi boasts flawless knife work. His Smoked Oshi is delightfully served as a single piece beneath a cloche, perfuming the torched wild local salmon oshizushi with cherry-wood smoke."

"It’s the Smoked Oshi that takes the crown as their signature dish. It’s a cherrywood smoke-infused Oshizushi that’s served in a cute glass dish. We give them bonus points for presentation, but it’s the depth of flavor that will have you coming back for more."
