San Diego sushi, from saltwater to mouthwatering

Cracking apart a pair of chopsticks, dipping a piece of Dragon Roll in a saucer of wasabi-tinged soy
sauce and clinking cups of hot sake make eating sushi a culinary ritual. Some San Diego sushi joints
even spice it up with music, rocking the roll experience with chill DJ beats.
Whether the venue’s swank or homey, part of sushi’s appeal is its artistry—the more innovative
the presentation and flavor pairings, the greater the anticipation. When you have a hankering for the
freshest fish, get hooked on any of these Finest City sushi spots.
