Sushi Tadokoro’s chef’s choice nigiri highlights traditional sushi craft, offering a procession of pieces like lean and fatty tuna, white fish, and shellfish over delicately seasoned rice. The restaurant is known for sourcing excellent fish and letting the purity of the ingredients lead, with very light saucing and garnishes when they are used. Nigiri is served one or two pieces at a time, allowing you to notice the subtle differences in texture and temperature from fish to fish. Commentators frequently praise this nigiri course as one of the most authentically Japanese sushi experiences in San Diego, especially when ordered as part of a larger omakase.[9][10][4]
