On Saturday evening, Jay and I met up with our few of our friends for dinner at Sake Cafe, a local Asian restaurant & sushi bar.
You may remember when we last visited Sake over the summer. We totally loved it, so we were more than excited to return.
Since the restaurant is BYOB (love that!) Jay and I decided to bring one of our favorite bottles of Pinot Grigio: Ecco Domani.

I started things off with an amazing bowl of Wonton soup.
I was all about the noodles…SO good!
For my dinner “entree,” I ordered 3 different rolls: a California Roll, Yellowtail Roll, & Alaska Roll.
It was my first time trying the yellowtail roll, and I must say…I was a little nervous when I saw it come out with no rice on the outside.
BUT, I am definitely now a fan! It was super tasty.
Out of the 3 rolls, I’d still say that the California Roll was tops. It’s a tried and true fave.
Perhaps one of the most exciting parts of the evening was when Jay actually ordered himself a California roll! Jay never liked sushi, but decided to give it a try…and he actually enjoyed it!
Do you know what this means?!?! More sushi in my future! WAHOOOOO!!!
Question for the Day:
Do you eat sushi? If so, what’s your favorite??

We usually go to Koto and I am a fan of the Vegetable Green Dragon Roll and the Sweet Potato Roll. There is one I like too with asparagus sun-dried tomato inside and avocado on the outside top. Mmmmmm So I am more of a vegetarian sushi fan
My favorite is the Alaska Roll. I’ve gotten my boyfriend to try sushi 3 different times but he told me he doesn’t like it so he won’t go anymore which means I barely ever get to eat it since all my sushi loving friends are over an hour away from me!
I was completely with ya before!
I don’t eat sushi because I don’t like seafood. I recently discovered a chicken teriyaki sushi roll and love it! Wish more places carried it.
That sounds GOOD!
California roll is definitely my favorite:) and i loooove wonton soup- I’m jealous!
Oh man, I love sushi! I’d eat it with every meal if I could! A spicy yellowtail roll is always good though I’d take anything with bass in it as a rule of thumb! I try to get something I’ve never had before each time I go. Last time I went I got a salmon skin roll which was pretty tasty. I also tried scallop nigri. I’m more of a traditionalist when it comes to my sushi, simple = good!
Loooove sushi and in Cali we have plenty of vegetarian options and brown rice too !
mmmmm I LOVE sushi! Can’t get enough of it actually. My favorite is anything with yellow tail- so good- but raw- not cooked. And I don’t eat any sushi that is fried- I feel like it kind of ruins the whole idea of sushi.
And have you tried seaweed salad?? It is one of my favorite foods!!!
The Sake Cafe is amazing! It is definitely one of the best priced Japanese/Chinese restaurants in area, the food is always so fresh. Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of sushi so I don’t have a favorite
I love saki cafe! they have some of the best wonton soup – nice and peppery! I also really like their special rolls. They’re expensive, but they’re also bigger. One of those rolls plus a cup of soup is enough for me.
LOVE sushi. I think spicy salmon or avocado rolls are my favorite.
Courtney – Fresh Market has fantastic sushi. They have it pre-packaged or you can order it and wait. Super fresh. Well priced too. I think I’m going up there later to get some!
Saweeeeeeeet! Good to know, thanks Sam!
I LOVE sushi. I usually get some combination of Rainbow Roll, Spicy Yellowtail, Spicy Tuna, Philadelphia (or Philly) roll, or a plain avocado roll.
I love sushi! The spicy scallop rolls at Ichiban are to die for.
