SAKURANOBO is the name of this amazing Japanese pastry available only in their store.

The pastry consists of a Japanese Cherry covered with lightly sweetened jelly and packaged in Spring-like colors. One packet is $3.50 and its worth every bit of it.

This treat was a Valentines Day gift and it was so amazing i'm going to check out the store and the other pastries...stay tuned.

Thanks Sepidah!

We decided to try to this restaurant only because I was complaining of not enough good sushi places in Nolita....only to discover i had been walking past this restaurant for 3 years EVERYDAY and never tried it.

Very good and very moderately priced. They have two things on their menu that are not so easy to come by.

1. A Tuna sushi/ sashimi platter (photo below)

2. A Salmon sushi/ sashimi platter

Not a fancy place, but if you want good sushi and all the extras...this is the place to go.
