OK, it's not remotely Azerbaijani, but there's a group of sushi lovers from the embassy who are on a mission to find the best sushi in Baku. Although I wouldn't consider myself a sushi lover, Jeremy does, plus who am I to ignore a call for volunteers to participate in a serious research project?
The most economical option is the Thursday night sushi buffet at Eleven Restaurant. Eleven is in a beautiful location with an 11th floor view overlooking the Caspian Sea and city of Baku. The sushi is good, but it's not especially exciting because it's the same limited choices each week.

Last week, our group tried a new "designer" sushi restaurant, Yuka Kaiten Sushi. We had seats at the bar where we could watch all the sushi being made. Displaying the true designer nature of their menu, one of the chefs pulled out a blowtorch to put the final "toasting" touch on his sushi roll!

It was a delight to watch these chefs literally slide around the kitchen creating their masterpieces. Everything that came out looked beautiful and tasted great! It might turn out to be Number One, but it's much too early in Mission Sushi to declare a winner!
