Aji Nippon

Aji Nippon is easy to miss. While driving towards the Safeway on Bradley Blvd after dropping off a dvd at the evil Blockbuster syndicate's local Bethesda cartel*, we noticed a small sign with Japanese artistry sticking out from a halfway-hidden corner building. Drove by it a second time, and we were certain it was probably a sushi restaurant. Cool!

If Wasabi Zen is small, Aji Nippon is quaint. We must say the owners did a great job styling their small space. The sushi bar is shaped traditionally like a boat; the woodwork theme is carried throughout the interior.

And the sushi is great. The baked california roll was simply outstanding. Can't praise the wait staff enough, also. Oh no, it's time to pay...

The good:
High quality maki- and nigiri-sushi
Tasty mochi, in many flavors
Service
Daruma, an Asian grocery store, is nearby

The bad:
Getting good sushi for a good price is still hard to come by

Overall:
Definitely recommended, maybe even to impress a date. It will be expensive
