Echigo Description:
This is exactly the kind of place a lot of picky sushi lovers would pass by without a second thought, given its generic signage and unflattering mini-mall location. That, however, would be a mistake, since this is a high-quality establishment where the skilled, friendly owner turns out simple yet delicious morsels of seafood that he obtains daily from the fish market long before the rest of us wake up. Like Sasabune, Echigo uses very warm rice, which gives the sushi a slightly different dimension. Among the best items here are velvety ankimo (monkfish liver) topped with golden miso sauce, albacore, uni, kanpachi and crab hand roll. The sushi bar is strictly omakase but you can select from the menu at white-clothed tables in the plain, whitewashed dining room.
