This week's Sushipalooza sees me returning to somewhere I haven't been in about 5 years: Mt. Fuji Japanese Restaurant at Gerrard and Bay. I haven't been avoiding it or anything, just, you know... there's a lot of restaurants in this town.
Due to previous TV-related commitments, I took my meal to go. Unfortunately, by the time I got all the way home, got all my food tastefully arranged on proper plates, and spent 10 minutes photographing it, the tempura appetizer had gone a little limp. But the sunomono salad stood up just fine with nice crisp seaweed and tasty bits of fake crab. A little light on the seafood, but not half bad for $3.50.
Mt. Fuji doesn't have quite the selection of oddball maki that I've seen in some places, but I did find a few interesting things, like a flavourful Teriyaki Beef roll. The Tempura Shrimp roll was pretty good too.
But my favourite of the rolls was the Futomaki, packed with colourful crispy veggies and of course the ubiquitous fake crab. It was mighty tasty. I should try Futomaki more often! Though maybe they're not all this good.
It's kinda too bad I couldn't stick around and eat in, because Mt. Fuji is a cute little place, staffed by a cute little couple. But what was I supposed to do, miss Big Bang Theory? I think not.
