One shouldn’t shy away from the delicately crafted, uncharacteristically-fresh-for-DC sushi and sashimi at Sushi Taro, unless it’s for the Best Thing on the Menu (BTM): the Spicy Spider Roll. Their soft shell crabs are on steroids – fat and moist and screaming straight from the sea. Other local sushi bars disguise previously-frozen, meager crustaceans with lettuce and mayo, but there is no need for such trickery at the Taro. The burst of spice and perfectly-vinegared sushi rice serve as a tasty vehicle for getting the crab to your mouth.
If you have the time and the cash, the kaiseki is also BTM worthy, but not for those on a budget, tricky food preferences or who wish to fit into their skinny jeans the next day. To survive an evening at Sushi Taro on the cheap(er), go for happy hour at the bar Monday-Friday (5:30-7:00pm) and load on up half price sushi, including the BTM of course.

Okay, so you know that soft shell crab is probably my favorite food in the entire world, so this is also one of my favorite dishes ever. The only issue I have is the level of rice – it’s not a bad ratio, just higher than I like.
Every so often, Taro will do a special soft shell crab tempura squid ink tempura. Order at least 2 if you can.

Collision insurance covers your car in the occasion you might
be at fault in an accident. I don’t have a so-called
cool ‘ol rusty Chevrolet to sing along with (like the jingle bells tune).
Possibly one of the concerns that the common recently passed car owner doesn’t give excessive consideration to is how much their first
time car insurance cover premiums will cost them.
