I second Chip's objection to the Todai jab. I can hardly stand walking by that place, let alone thinking about eating some catfish sashimi there.

Having had the honor of being at this legendary meal at Homamori, I can honestly say it was one of the best meals of my life, falling slightly below numerous Florence Baiocchi and Ida Landini Italian delights and a well known Steak House in Chicago which shall remain nameless for fear of Chip Hanlon's backlash.

It is rare in this day and age to have anything actually live up to the hype, but Homamuri definitely did. The strategy we employed seems to be the best plan of action: sit at the bar and refuse to accept a menu. Just tell Jimmy to work his magic and close your eyes when you sign the bill. Or, go with Hanlon and let him pick up the tab. I prefer the latter.
