Vizen Japanese Restaurant is an amazing sushi place in Sarasota, FL. Trust me, this is the best ever in town and in Florida. I can say this because I love sushi and I've been in so many places to eat sushi. All of them were great, but I was never sure if what I was having is the real sushi. I know for fact, the traditional sushi doesn't have cream cheese. This is something restaurants do to attract the American taste. Like sour cream on tacos! :)
So on my quest for the best sushi restaurant in town I did find this jewel.
Why do I say Vizen is supreme? It is because, I went to Japan this Spring (with my best friend that is Japanese) and she was always trying to show me the best sushi around town, but she never found the ideal one. She was always telling me that the taste is not the same. For me all sushi was great. But I was in the shadows.
Finally, I arrive to Japan and the first thing we did was to eat SUSHI. I totally understood what she was saying about the quality of the sushi. The presentation, the freshest of the ingredients, the combination of flavors and the best part the simplicity of sushi. I get you Japan, you rock!.
Yes, at Vizen you will experience as close as you can the real sushi. Actually, I feel that I'm back in Japan. The service, the decoration, the presentation and the best part the dedication and time to serve you the best sushi.
Yes, you will find sushi with cream cheese just in case you miss it from the menu. Also, you will find the most common sushi, but even those are made with the freshest of the ingredients and your California Roll will be a totally different experience than the old rolls you had in the past.
When you enter the restaurant that is actually lost in Gulf Gate restaurant district between all the Irish pubs, you are greeted by Irashaimase (welcome)and a bow. The decor it is total Japan simplicity and every detail to perfection. From the decor to the dishes this place is amazing.
From the moment you order your first sushi, sashimi or makimono it is something to wait. The experience at Vizen is unique. Most of the times, I feel that I'm in show in where each dish come in a perfect time for me to flavor every detail of how the sushi was done. I'm visual and I do pay attention to every sauce, flavor and presentation on the plate. This makes the experience at Vizen unique. I'm infront of a true master. Quality takes time and the wait is all worth it. From the sushi to the saketinis you are for sure in heaven.
I can stay here all night talking about Vizen and about Matsu (the chef). You are in front of a true master of sushi who was trained on the most prestigious district of Tokyo called Ginza that is known for the best sushi in Japan and the world.
MY FAVORITY dish at VIZEN is:
Tuna Tetaki that just melts in your mouth. The Jewel Roll and the Sushi Dinner (simplicity to its best).
Plus, one more thing, all the ingredients are coming directly from Japan. Nothing is coming from a distributor company in California or in NY.
KNOWLEDGE: The sushi that Vizen offers is called edo-style
(Edo style sushi is nigiri sushi (often referred to as Edomae-sushi), which feature small amount of seafood on a seasoned rice.)
