oT,

"I don't know of any place that does omakase"

At many places that don't have set price offical omakases on the menu, if you sit at the sushi bar you can have the sushi chefs just hook you up, either giving them price guidance or not.

I may have to give that a shot, though still not in SJ.

All,

Our place in SF has an item called "Firecracker". This is probably a pretty ubiquitous name, so here, it's a shiso leaf topped with chopped tuna, spicy mayonnaise and topped with a little bit of tobiko and seaweed salad. If your local has something like this, I highly recommend it as an entry dish.

I've even started making these at home...they're fun and very tasty!
