It\u2019s about the warm (hand temperature), perfectly seasoned rice, pristine fish and just-so preparation. With expanded hours and an expanded menu that includes not only nigiri and sashimi, but poke bowls and traditional Japanese entrees, this Sebastopol sushi spot has always been good \u2014 but with a new sushi rice recipe, it\u2019s head and shoulders above the rest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\">In addition to Sushi Kosho, I have three other best runner-up restaurants for your sushi fix \u2014 Shige Sushi in Cotati and Sonoma, Hana Japanese in Rohnert Park and Aishi in Healdsburg \u2014 along with more casual sushi stops that offer up solid takes in the raw fish game.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"ai-optimize-9\"><em>Dining editor&#8217;s top picks<\/em><\/h5>\n<h4 class=\"ai-optimize-10\">Sushi Kosho, Sebastopol<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\">Chef Jake Rand is obsessed with authentic Japanese food and studied for years in Japan. Hands down, his sushi tops my list as perfectly seasoned, perfectly formed and perfectly impressive. Go for the Nigiri \u201cset\u201d with nine pieces of fish and a six-piece tekka maki. The space is comfortable to grab a lunchtime sushi plate or hunker down with a bottle of sake for a lengthier visit. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/japanese-comfort-food-in-sebastopol-from-sushi-to-pancakes\/\">Read full review here<\/a>. <em>6750 McKinley St., Sebastopol, 707-827-6373, <a href=\"http:\/\/koshosushi.com\">koshosushi.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70022\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70022\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70022 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hi_sushi_kosho_0220-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"Sushi Kosho\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hi_sushi_kosho_0220-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hi_sushi_kosho_0220-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hi_sushi_kosho_0220-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hi_sushi_kosho_0220-1536x747.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hi_sushi_kosho_0220-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hi_sushi_kosho_0220-1200x583.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70022\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nigiri set at Sushi Kosho Japanese restaurant at the Barlow in Sebastopol.
