They're in Burlingame and have a website: http://www.sakaesushi.com They're quite pricey as well...$35 for 22 pieces of Chef's Choice Sashimi, but I found them to be the best and most authentic on the Peninsula by far. More reasonable places would be Kisaku, 4th Avenue, San Mateo. You should sit in the small sushi bar to order the cuts of sashimi you like. DON'T go for the Sashimi platter on the menu. They only give Ahi and squid, no salmon, no hamachi. FWIR, you can get 8 pcs. of hamachi for $7. If you rather eat at home, go to Suruki Market on 4th Avenue in San Mateo and order sashimi by the 1/4-1/2 pound increments from the fish counter. Their fish is quite fresh, especially the salmon and hamachi. Good Luck!!

Other than that they are an above-average-quality, but average-priced sushi place -- probably not up to the level of the ultra-expensive places I haven't gotten aroudn to trying.... S.

Well, Sanraku (the one at the Metreon is nearest to me) in SF has okay sashimi on the regular menu, but the stuff they list on the specials board is to die for. They usually have two different types of Toro (medium fatty and fatty) and both are some sort of sashimi heaven.
