Delicious & Authentic Japanese - 本当においしい

Last night, wonderful friends treated us to a terrific Japanese meal at Vizen, a superb Japanese restaurant in Sarasota. While there are a number of Japanese restaurants in the Sarasota-Bradenton area, they are not all authentic. Vizen (http://www.vizen-sarasota.com/) is one of the best and most authentic. The food is not only delicious but it is very beautifully presented - a real work of art - in keeping with the Japanese view that food show be a feast for the palate and the eyes.

My wife had her standard sushi order - California rolls and Mexican rolls. She and I shared an order of gyoza.

Our friends had sushi, gyoza, and ginger salmon.

I had seafood miso and seafood tempura. The seafood miso was filled with a mixture of delicious seafood. The tempura was perfect. (The pseudo Japanese restaurants rarely seem to get this right.)

Every morsel of our dishes was wonderful.
