Kamakura Japanese Restaurant   

Went here for Valentine's day two years ago. The food seemed like it would have tasted better but it was kind of cold. It could have had something to do with sitting by the window in a drafty spot. Otherwise, the service was average and the atmosphere was average.

Fish is very fresh, variety of fish is minimal and size is traditional. Seaurchin and vinegared mackerel are served. Water content of sushi rice is very satisfactory. Nigiri rice is one finger size, tightly compacted and remains intact after being dipped in soy sauce. Small amount wasabi is pasted between nigiri rice and fish. Maki is rolled skillfully, the ingredients are nicely centered and ramain in shape. Avocado in maki is very fresh and smooth. Minimum order of nigiri is two pieces. Price is very resonable for this good quality of sushi. A good place for casual and entertaining guests.

We always go to Kamakura for special occasions with a large enough group to sit at one of the grill-tables. It is so interesting to watch the chef prepare the food right before our eyes. The chefs are very talented. The food is always excellent and is well worth the price. Even our 5 and 4 year olds love to watch the chef as he prepares the food.
