Since I was passing by at lunch time on Saturday I stopped at Mizu Sushi having read about it in The Masticating Monkey.
I'll add my positive review:
Yum!
It's tucked away in the teensy Mohawk Plaza, just opposite Balltown Road on State Street on the eastern edge of greater Schenectady, and it's a teensy spot itself, with a nice dining room.
I was the only customer for my late - ish lunch, which was the sake special. Goodness! I have a certain set of favorite sushi attributes and this place hits on all of them. There is a good proportion between the fish and the rice, the temperature is more like room temperature so that the fish is full-flavored along with the rice and the creaminess of the sake is marvelous, making it a lovely complement to the chewiness of the sticky rice. The special included seven pieces of sake sushi and a sake roll. It was sake heaven.
Since it's so easy to get to, I'll be returning often. There's a huge menu to try, including a great-looking lunch menu.
