Sushi Kuni
The city's restaurant directory still carries it at 10211 S De Anza. Its own blog stopped in March 2010, and nobody with a byline has written about the counter since.
Why go
What survives is the blog the bar kept from 2009 into 2010, when Kunio was ordering direct from Tsukiji. One arm of raw octopus came in over three feet long, blanched for a moment so the middle stayed raw, then salted and squeezed with lemon.2 He pressed kaki-no-ha sushi, a Nara specialty, wrapping saba and salmon in persimmon leaves.2 That was fifteen years ago. Nothing published since 2010 says what the counter serves now, so call (408) 257-5864 before you plan around it.
Good to know
- It trades. The City of Cupertino's restaurant directory lists it at 10211 S De Anza Blvd.1
- The published record ends in 2010. The bar's own blog stopped that March and no newspaper or guide has covered it since.
Verdict
listed — It trades, and that is the finding: the City of Cupertino's restaurant directory carries it at 10211 S De Anza Blvd. Beyond that the published record stops in 2010, on a blog where Kunio was blanching a three-foot Tsukiji octopus arm for a minute and salting it. Nobody with a byline has written about the kitchen since, so there is nothing here to rank on.
