"Hana is a wonderful Japanese eatery in the northern part of Phoenix, near Camelback. My wife and I were looking for a good sushi and found this magical place. The atmosphere is quite relaxed. We were not dressed for any special occasion as they drove out of town. We started with a cook 's special, roasted eggplant in a Ponzu bread with Bonito flakes above, and seaweed salad. The broth on the eggplant was so good that I had drunk the whole bowl! Both appetizers were incredibly tasteful, but not too hard for a first course. The next course was sashimi tuna, uni and Toro. The Tuna sashimi was very light and tender The Uni Sushi, which we tried for the first time, it was not our favorite, but not because of the preparation my wife and I just did not like university. The main attraction, the Toro, was absolutely fantastic. It was our first time toro, and it was well worth the experience, even more sensitive than regular tuna sashimi with a melt in your mouth butterfly texture. I recommend the Toro if you are ready to splurge (market price ~40 USD for 6 pieces). The main course was the fish collar. This is as long as stocks last. It was exactly what I was hoping for. Delicate texture, grease and light taste with beautiful crispy skin! The diving sauce was the perfect companion. Finally we had Mochi for Dessert. My wife had the mango and I had the green tea. My favorite was a mixture of both flavors. The green tea is a more green flavor that I enjoy, so if you're like green tea so much, I would go for one of the other flavors. The service was also excellent. My wife and I will be back to support this business. Overall, this place had won my wife and I and we will definitely recommend everyone who wants sushi or Japanese cuisine in the Phoenix region! @foodbrawl"
