KiZake is here! 91 West Boston, Chandler, AZ 85225


One week ago today KiZake, a great new sushi spot in Historic Downtown Chandler, opened its doors and served the first customers. The owners, Ron and Maki, are friends of ours so Keven and I have been doing what we can to help take care of all those final finishing touches. My contributions have been alot of errand running, balloon fetching, shopping for shelves, etc. Keven has done a little bit of everything...hanging shelves, tending bar, and even a sushi making lesson. It has all been worth it because at the end of each errand filled day I had the reward of delicious sushi. The sushi at KiZake is some of the freshest I have had...ever. I can honestly say it has ruined me for sushi anywhere else. Hiro Taniguchi, the chef, has a way of making even the simplest of items taste phenomenal. I highly recommend the tuna and avocado salad in wasabi sauce and the spicy tuna tacos. Below are a couple pictures from this weekend. I plan to have a full shoot with Hiro soon but for now I was just playing around.

*Ron and Maki also own 98 South and 56 East, two Eclectic American restaurants in Chandler, AZ.
