Tokyo Tokyo

The first surprise (but not the last) is the Tokyo Tokyo River, a 4000-gallon underground koi pond filled with fish.  The thick glass covering the river is safe to walk on believe it or not. This full-menued Japanese restaurant has many such delights awaiting you. The highlight is the Sushi Bar (NO, koi is NOT on the menu!). The portions are generous. The quality is exceptional. The range of selections is enormous. The sushi is high quality but very seasonal.  In season you can get hair crab. There are tatami rooms, a large sushi bar and a covered patio.  The wine list is adequate but the real highlight is the range of sake selections. You can buy one of the more expensive ($300) bottles which they will save for your return visits. One unusual selection is frozen sake. The dessert selections include green tea, red bean and plum wine ice cream. They also have a tea menu with all ranges of tea available.

Unfortunately, it takes many visits to enjoy all the possibilities in this outstanding establishment.

You can even attend basic sushi classes on the second Saturday of every month.
