A Spoonful of Happiness at Koo

Uni (Sea Urchin) and Uzura (Quail) yolk topped with Tobiko (Flying Fish roe) in Ponzu sauce

This is one of my favorite one bite dish.

I love the sweet flavor and creamy texture of West coast Uni. The day I visited, the chef used Fort Bragg Uni. The sweet and rich flavor was enhanced by raw quail yolk - It is very understandable why Quail eggs are commonly used to top Uni sushi. The Tobiko added texture. The acidity and saltiness of Ponzu added clean balance to the spoon.

Koo has a nice sushi bar with 3 Japanese Sushi chefs and all Japanese waitress/waiter. It is very rear to find all Japanese staffed restaurant in San Francisco. I think their sushi is very authentic.
