As promised, here's a roundup of today's rates for two pieces of toro sushi. I've included any comments from the restaurants. All are M.P., or market price. Conclusion: Someone at Takami is getting ripped off. Whether it's the kitchen or the customers is unclear.
Takami $28
Matsuhisa $20
Koi $20
Sushi Roku $16 ("It's coming from Spain these days")
Sushi Nozawa $12 ("It's very expensive")
Sushi Sasabune $10
The Hump $10





Everyone uses different levels of quality for Toro. The Toro at Takami has the highest food cost percentage of any menu item. We are in the process of changing vendors and are trying to reduce the pricing. Thanks for your feedback.
