Sake Cafe’ impresses Digest food ambassadors

There is a taboo subject amongst black Americans surrounding Asian cuisine. We sometimes tend to believe that their food either consists of dogs or rats; this stereotype was created after the war in Vietnam when the supply of food was scarce. For those who do not choose to support such stereotypes and are willing to try something new, sushi, a Japanese dish that consists of rice and other ingredients, is this week’s choice!
For those who may not be familiar with the term sushi roll, a roll has a center portion, which is usually raw fish or vegetables (sushi) and rolled with a layer of cooked rice, wrapped in seaweed.
Yesterday, Digest food ambassadors visited Sake, located at 6401 Bluebonnet Boulevard  — about 15 to 20 miles from SU, and tried several different types of sushi rolls. For starters and to be on the safe side, we tried the snow crab and crawfish rolls. You can never go wrong with seafood, unless you’re allergic.
The crawfish roll came with avocado in the center which we didn’t notice until we were close to calling for the check. Both rolls had a small stint of spices within them but they were smoldered by the cool temperature of the entrée. However, the temperature didn’t take away from the entrée but rather, gave us a sense of relief once digested. The relief was probably due to our strict routine of eating plenty of fast food throughout the previous week.
When ordering please remember this, the menu will list a variety of rolls to choose from and each roll consists of six individual pieces. We initially thought a roll was one individual roll for the price of $4.95.
Not only was the food great but the atmosphere was amazing as well. Can anyone say fung shui?  We were amazed and tantalized by the fixtures, especially the lighting. The lighting that hung from the ceiling was similar to the chaotic cosmos of the universe; with the positioning of the light bulbs on each fixture set. There were also hypnotizing waterfalls situated all throughout the loft. The setting included colorful lights that transitioned different colors on the glass.
Overall, Sake is definitely a place that redefines harmony and balance while eating. Their food is exquisite and their prices are also reasonable and affordable for any college student to handle. Sake receives an “A” for great tasting food and a pleasurable experience.
