Still the Best Sushi in Louisville (Sapporo)

Food art... One feels helpless but be mesmerize by the beauty of good sushi.  It may be the iridescent nature of the ingredients or the ethereal disposition of the combination... regardless, there is just a pleasantness that is innately part of refined sushi. After all the aw, you eat it and the flavors open up the various thresholds of your tongue. And that is sushi...

Sashimi and Sushi Combo
But just like exceptional art, there is a price to pay for something so delicate in essence...  Well, generally it is that way.  Sapporo may be one of the few exceptions for the beggar who wants to be a chooser as well. Sapporo offers a sushi happy hour daily (Sun-Sun) from 5-6:30 P.M. I also recommend the Sapporo at Bardstown Rd. rather than the sister location on 4th St. Sapporo's sushi happy hour consist of

$1
Hot Sake
Edamame

Sunday Morning and California Roll
$3
Sunday Morning Roll
Vegetable Tempura
Goyza (Pan Fried Dumpling)
California Roll
Sapporo Beer


No Name Roll (VIP Roll with Shrimp) and yes, those are flames

New Orleans Roll
$6
New Orleans Roll (Spicy Crawfish)
Big Mouth Roll (Crab and cooked Spicy Tuna)
Yum Yum Roll 
Philadelphia Roll

Tuna Tataki
$10
Tuna Tataki
VIP Roll (Crab inside Salmon on top)
Play Boy Roll

I've been here numerous times and some weeks three to four times a week... Sapporo, like Wild Ginger offers a club like environment that seems filled with excitement but yet allows one to carry a private conversation. Food wise, I generally get Edamame, Vegatable Tempura, California Roll, New Orleans Roll/Big Mouth Roll, a Tana Tataki, and a VIP Roll. You just have to try it out for yourself.
