SAN DIEGO’S RESTAURANTS – Kaito Sushi / 130 N El Camino Real, Encinitas, CA 92024

Vitruvian Man created by Leonardo da Vinci is a design, where a man in two overlapped positions (with arms and legs spread wide), is inscribed in a circle and a square. https://leonardodavinci.stanford.edu/submissions/clabaugh/history/leonardo.html Throughout the centuries, that image has become a cultural icon. Perfectly proportioned, the symmetry of the human anatomy is correlated with the symmetry of the universe. That man is you, inside your existential experience, where you breathe and see, hear, eat and feel it, also entering Kaito Sushi Restaurant.

You need to go in Encinitas, CA, at 130 N El Camino Real. It doesn’t offer the largest selection of fish, but it does boast the best curated Edo-style sushi in town. Kaito Sushi Restaurant http://places.singleplatform.com/kaito-restaurant/menu?ref=google inspires reverence from sushi purists who delight in owner Kazuo Morita’s dedication, to the freshest seafood and time-honored technique. Kaito is about what you’d expect inside: there are a smattering of tables (but most of the space is taken up by the sushi bar. Kaito’s à la carte menu, comprises usual selection (noodles, bowls, nigiri, and rolls), and to drink, there’s your typical Japanese beers (as well as sake). You can drink two beers together tonight: the first being the 2014 “Fantôme Saison D’Erezée Printemps” (a Belgian beer brewed with seasonal herbs).

Yes, you can found that it is rather interesting, with a tinge of sweet spice on the nose. While on the palate? Inside the second beer that waiting for us, you can find a light farmhouse beer, leading to a very finish with fennel and oregano. Aoyagi Sashimi? We can eat a delightful sashimi of orange clam (it was a fantastic mix of textures, both spongy and crisp). Tasty alone, but even better with a dab of wasabi. If you don’t like “sweet” sushi (or restaurants that have no respect for Japanese food), you will love this place. The sushi staff are very nice and they prepare the dishes to your satisfaction. For appetizer? I highly recommend you the beef tongue.
