Sushi Wa Izakaya

Absolutely hands down the best sushi in Charleston. Traditional Japanese. Absolutely no Americanized b/s rolls with mayo all over them. The provenance of every fish and crustacean on the menu is listed on the blackboard - the global diversity of ingredient sourcing extends from Japan, to Santa Barbara, to New Zealand, to Alaska to South Carolina, etc. You can’t go wrong with the chef’s 10pc nigiri omakase for $40 - seafood this good would be $80-100 in NYC.
