Last night we attended the preview opening of Sushi Gaku in Georgetown where sampled a nice variety of fresh sushi as well as a vibrant and flavorful seaweed salad. The official grand opening is Wednesday, May 21st (tomorrow) at 1338 Wisconsin Avenue NW. They even have a small back patio. Above are images showing some of the highlights from last night.

Chef Yoshi is planning to serve very fermented ancient-style sushi for the upcoming Omakase course but give him some time since it takes at least 2 months to prepare. He is one of the only chefs in the area to hold a fugu (pufferfish) preparation license; fugu must be meticulously prepared in order to be eaten safely. Sushi Gaku’s three-page menu is available for your perusal.
