Courtney and I went out on this rainy, grey evening for sushi at Daimonji Sushi and Grill in Georgetown. I have had a craving for sushi for days since I saw a place while driving around in Burbank!

We sat at the sushi bar and told Alex (the sushi chef) we were at his mercy or, Omakase, the only way to have sushi. You get the chef’s specials and what is freshest and best.

He provided an amazing array of dishes. Starting with sake clams, then a fresh tuna salad, we went on to have oysters on the half shell, a plate of sashimi, then a plate of nigiri.

I had specifically asked to have monk fish liver, which was on their special board. I have heard about it and always wanted to try it. Alex had almost tried to warn us off of it, saying it was fishy and a lot of people didn’t like it. Boy, am I glad we tried it. It was luscious and not fishy at all. So good! Courtney even liked it, but only after the second bite. He said he had kind of psyched himself out of it (maybe because of Alex’s comments) but really liked it once he gave it a chance.

We also had a couple of special rolls made for us by Alex. We were pretty full and done but told Alex how the monk fish liver was our favorite. He said he had a little left and would give it to us since we liked it so much. It was like a special dessert just for us.

It was a wonderful evening of special food for us and I can’t wait to go back again. I just wish I had thought to take more photos of the wonderful, beautiful displays of fresh and tasty fish.
