Hanasaki Sushi

     

Hanasaki Sushi is a cozy Santa Clarita sushi spot, serving fresh nigiri, sashimi, and inventive rolls with welcoming service

After an exhausting day that included discovering someone had stolen my front license plate and replaced it with another, dealing with a former friend’s passive-aggressive attempts to manipulate their way back into my life, nearly being run off the 14 freeway by a truck that drifted into my lane, and maintaining my professional demeanor while greeting potential buyers during an open house for my listing—I was completely drained.

When I asked Terrin where I should go for a quiet, comforting evening for a table for one, he immediately recommended Hanasaki Sushi.

After finishing up an incident report at my local Los Angeles police station, I was in desperate need of an escape. So, I drove to Hanasaki Sushi, just for pleasure of self love.

After being seated, I browsed the menu. Immediate, I took a deep breath and tried to relax into the moment.

I immediately ordered a Miso soup with a Sapporo.

Slowly, I felt myself coming back to life.

The rolls looked enticing and absolutely delicious. So, I order the Carbon Roll (Inside: Spicy Tuna, Snow Crab, Cucumber. Top: Bluefin Tuna, Albacore, Salmon, House-Made Chili Garlic, Lime, Sesame Seeds)….

The Red White and Bluefin (Lime Zest, Yellowtail, Cucumber / Top: Bluefin, Yellowtail, Garlic Soy, Garlic Chips)…

and the Steven Roll (Spicy Yellowtail, Scallion, Cucumber Top: Snapper, Serrano, Red Yuzu, Soy Tare, Micro Cilantro). Along with the FRESH GRATED WASABI (Freshly Grated to Order – from Nagano, Japan).

Everything was exactly what I needed. And when Terrin was able to join me and just talk everything out, I realized – yet again – the brilliant power of friendships that truly enrich my life.
