Catching up with Kyoto
I sampled my first sushi at Kyoto. It was my ex’s favorite restaurant. Those who know that Kip and I will be celebrating our 18th anniversary soon can calculate that my main Kyoto days date to the 1980s. (Brian Lieske, my ex, has been living with his partner, also named Michael, in San Francisco, for almost as long. We remain dear friends.)

I returned to Kyoto, the still-popular joint on Congress Avenue, last night after a long hiatus. Robert Nash met me there prior to an Ephraim Owens gig at the Elephant Room downstairs.

Everything Robert and I ordered rewarded our expectations, especially the “spider” with lightly crunchy soft-shell crab. For a place that deals in volume — its Monday-Saturday happy hour generates lines down the block — the sushi here is dependably invigorating. And thanks to the happy hour, a fresh tide of youthful sushi-lovers washes in punctually. The customers we talked to agreed that Kyoto keeps its standards pretty high.
