Quick report from Sushi Take. While I would certainly recommend lunch here, it is significantly more expensive than Taichi, and I think Taichi is better. One mistake we made was booking on a Sunday, so the fish options were limited and the omakase was shellfish-heavy. This is probably a similar risk at many places, so keep that in mind if anyone decides to book an omakase in Japan.

I found everything was fresh and delicious, but my other half noticed some of the rice was undercooked, and even found a few grains that were hard and translucent. Not sure if this was on purpose, or incidental. I was disappointed with the tamago - when served this thin, a lot of the flavor and texture was lost, rather than concentrated.

All-in-all, I think I would return to Taichi vs rebooking Take.
