Komegashi

Komegashi
Jersey City

DJKung's cousin was visiting last Valentine's. We went to check out one of his former haunts in Jersey City. Komegashi is a Japanese joint that is very close to Exchange Place.

Eel hand roll. It hit all the right spots.

Sashimi appetizer. This serving was pretty generous. The salmon and tuna were pretty fresh, but I was disappointed with the white tuna, which was pretty bland.

Hamachi kama. Yellowtail collar. DJKung said that this was good---big piece, very meaty. I had fun gnawing on the bones.

With the hot sake, the apps got us nice and mellow. DJKung got the tempura soba, and I got the ten don.

Tempura soba. DJKung liked the portions. The tempura was light and crrunchy.

DJKung's buddy got the sushi deluxe.

I got the ten don (shrimp tempura over rice). It was hearty and filling.

In general, Komegashi gets point from us for being in a very central location, with a nice local vibe. The fish was ok, but was not super-fresh.
