It is a couple of years ago (2005), but this guy set his mind to covering all of London’s sushi restaurants in zone 1. Now that is impressive! It seems to last him only a couple of months, but in that time he covered a whole bunch. I wonder what happened?
Nol and the Quest for Sushi is an adventure of epic proportions inwhich I will eat in every sushi restaurant in London zone 1 by the end of the year. That’s nine months. This is London. That’s a lot of restaurants.
As Master Yoda says “Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.”
House of Sushi has three restaurants in Oslo. They claim that this is their flag ship restaurant, and being quite happy with their one in Skøyen, I was looking forward to going here. I was not let down as such, but…
What we had was all just - mmyeah - I don’t know; Just another sushi place doing what everyone else is doing - not excelling in any way - taste wise or presentation wise. Not inspired, and therefore not very inspiring.

We were not going to this place had it not been for that Soho was closed that day. Ahh, what luck! It caused us to find a gem!! The restaurant opened last year, but moved to also use downstairs around April of 2007. We were pretty alone in there for our Sunday lunch, but if they keep up their good work, I am sure this place will be packed. It was a real treat!
We all love tempura maki - and these guys had several of them. They had a separate sushi menu with special maki, deep fried maki and regular nigiri sushi, sashimi and maki.
Nama is a very nice sushi place located close to the old part of the harbor front of Bergen. Their restaurant is modern and clean, and it seems to be quite popular. The sound level in the restaurant was a bit loud though and it was hard to hear each other talk when the place got full.
But we were there to eat, not to talk. Right? 
We ordered lots of different things off their menu. Mostly maki, but also some nigiri sushi.

Sumo has a great location in Bergen city center. It looks great both from the outside and gives a real authentic, japanese feel inside - and it was fun to be able to sit “in the floor” on pillows similar to what you do in Japan. I was really positively surprised by the look and feel of this place.
The menu too was quite extensive, so I was all smiles there for a while. But then came the food. It was not that it was that bad. It was ok, but I had just built up such really high expectations…

This small sushi place has a very central location, just off of Karl Johans gate - the main street of Oslo. I used to go to it years ago when it was called Tampopo but I had not been back after it became Oishi Sushi. The fact that is resides in Skippergata might scare some customers away though.
The restaurant part of the Goko Sushi Institute seemed to be a place to get a hold of Japanese news, and were selling different types of typical Japanese stuff in their restaurant. Why it is called a sushi institute I am not sure. Will have to check that out.
I wish we had a Kuchi in Oslo. This was a restaurant I would love to go to on a regular basis. It had such an interesting menu that I was very sorry that we could not try it all.
We had their beautifully made rainbow maki, a tempura maki and a special maki that I can’t remember the name of.
We had just arrived in Berlin and I needed some sushi. Ryo looked like a nice little neighborhood sushi place, so I had a go at it. It was empty and the staff was nowhere to see, they were all in the kitchen. After standing at the counter I had to call for them to give me any service.

We heard about Mikaku when we went looking for old Shogun. When we asked at Japantorget, they said that Shogun was considered to be the only proper Japanese restaurant in town. Unfortunately - that closed down, but not to worry - Mikaku is their new place. And it is quite Japanese. It has a huge menu with lots of stuff you rarely find elsewhere in Norway. If you also like other Japanese food other than sushi, they serve several different types of udon, tempura, several nabe dishes like teppanyaki, sukiyaki and shabushabu to mention some.

Here is my list of favorites for this month. Click on the links to read more about them.
1) Nodee, Majorstua - apparently, everybody’s favorites… And it is great, so just get in line!!
2) Nippon Art, Sentrum - it just feels more genuine than Alex
3) Alex Sushi, Solli plass - it is great. But still shi shi and expensive.
4) Sushi to Wok, Majorstua - I think it’s the tea
5) House of Sushi, Skøyen - I guess it was the starter.
Well. That was my list.
Now tell me yours!
