My favorite sushi place here in the suburbs of Atlanta (Alpharetta) is closing this weekend. I knew it was inevitable, as the place was always empty… The location wasn’t the best, and the economy ensured that it would be tough for most start-up restaurants. The couple that ran are really nice, I really liked them. Compared to all the other sushi I had tried around here, it really was the best.
I’m a sushi snob, and it’s my friend Len’s fault. Back in SLO, we had the best Sushi place: Tsurugis. I have yet to find a place here that matches it, but Sushi Miraku was good. So now the search is on for a new place. If you happen to be near me, and you suggest Ru San’s, I just have this to say: that’s like suggesting I eat Sewage. Buffet Sushi? Really? Yes. I tried it, and tried some fresh stuff. God Awful. Anyone who likes that does not know what Sushi really is… It’s like asking for a steakhouse and suggesting McDonald’s.
So it’s a sad day for me. So long Sushi Miraku! Best of luck to you.
