NOVEMBER 2016 MARKETPLACECONTRACOSTA.COM 37 cooked sushi options because there were a number of other types on Tachikawa’s menu that sounded appealing, such as the “Oh Yes,” a deep-fried roll, made with salmon, avocado, crab and cream cheese. Another is the “Volcano” roll, made with shrimp tempura and crab topped with spicy tuna, tempura crunch and unagi sauce. There are actually two sushi rolls on the menu that are customer creations—the Archer roll and the WarrenCami roll. Check these out when you go—maybe you can even recommend your own creation to share! If you love sushi and you’re looking for a great deal, visit Tachikawa during their daily Happy Hour between 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM, during which you can buy several different popular sushi selections for significantly reduced prices. During happy hour, patrons can also purchase a selection of Japanese beers, Hot Sake, or wine at reduced prices. This is a great local venue to stop by to unwind on your way home from work! Tachikawa is another great family business, owned and operated by Douglas and Kum Chee, and assisted by their children, Sara and Chris. The family has owned Tachikawa since 2009. The restaurant itself has been at its current location in Pinole for many years under two previous owners, but has always retained the name, Tachikawa, which is the name of a city located in western Tokyo, Japan. The Chee family emigrated from Korea in 1988 when Douglas was recruited to the US for an engineering job. Later after a change in career, Douglas learned the art of sushi-making by working at a sushi restaurant in the San Jose area. The family seized the opportunity to purchase Tachikawa in spite of the volatile economic environment in 2009, and it has evolved into a great local Japanese restaurant and sushi venue. Kum and Sara are in charge of the kitchen, and Douglas and Chris are the sushi chefs who can usually be observed hard at work behind the sushi bar. All ingredients used in Tachikawa’s food preparation are fresh, and all sushi is prepared to order. The dinner hours are busiest, particularly Friday evenings, and reservations are welcome. Take-out is available if you don’t want to wait for a seat—check out their on-line menu on their website so that you can call ahead! The menu prices seem reasonable for the quantity and quality of the items served. If you dine at Tachikawa and still have room for dessert at the end of your meal, try their Green Tea Ice Cream or Green Tea Cheesecake. We were so full that we had to pass on these, but they sure sounded very appealing. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur, you’ve never tried sushi, or you’ve never cared for sushi, I would recommend a visit to Tachikawa. The Chee family and their staff will be happy to answer any questions and recommend something from their extensive menu of Japanese delights that you’re sure to enjoy.
