Sushi Yoshizumi is an upscale sushi place in the San Francisco area with a 9-seater wooden sushi counter. Sushi Yoshizumi serves a well-crafted omakase menu of Chef Akira Yoshizumi that changes daily based on the sourced seasonal ingredients. These 15-22 courses of the omakase at this San Mateo restaurant are mainly just seafood, fermented or cured in various ways, and presented simple, as is the Edomae sushi style cuisine. Sushi Yoshizumi is famous for its musky and bright Hokkaido uni. Hokkaido uni is a rustic, apricot-colored spoonful served on the top of vinegared rice wrapped in crisp seaweed. The sea urchin roe’s apricot color is a strong visual contrast to the dark sheet of seaweed.
