Being young, I always wanted to try sushi, but wasn't sure where to start. Enter my USMC brother who lived in Okinawa, Japan for a year and dined daily on sushi. He introduced me to it and I have been in love ever since. Finding a sushi place you like is easy; finding one you love is a little more difficult. After a few years of eating at sushi restaurants, I have enjoyed this place very much.

Fujiyama doesn't rely on overpowering sauces to tangle your taste buds. The fish is fresh and the rice is soft and packed together tightly. To make everything taste a whole lot better, Fujiyama introduced a half-priced sushi night on Mondays & Tuesdays. Not everything is on sale, but there is more than enough to order and get stuffed.


I am a huge fan of the Philadelphia roll (above to the right corner). Smoked salmon and cream cheese blends together for a sweet mouth watering flavor. The sweet potato roll (top left) was meant to help me fill up at a cheaper price, but won me over quickly.





A typical trip for myself involves getting four or five rolls and a tamago (egg pictured top right). I travel a good distance and want to make the trip worth my while.
If you scale back, then save room for the friend bananas and ice cream. You do have to eat it fast as the bananas melt the ice cream the longer you stare at it.
