The Absolute Best Sushi You Can Get In Every State
From coast to coast, sushi has grown beyond a foreign novelty in the U.S. into a regional expression. In each state, skilled chefs, suppliers, and curators converge to create sushi that's Japanese in technique whilst catering to regional sensibilities. Even in areas where raw fish is less likely to catch on as a delicacy — like inland cities and landlocked states – sushi bars (with or without red flags) and omakase counters flourish.
United by a dedication to sourcing, knife work, and the subtle marriage of rice, fish, and seasoning, many of the restaurants represented here are critical darlings, local loves, or recipients of formal culinary recognition. Here's where to find the best sushi in each state.
Alabama: Samurai Japan
Samurai Japan is the best in a state where sushi has yet to make serious inroads. The menu is a wide and solid sushi selection of a la carte sashimi (well cut hokkigai, for example) and specialty rolls, along with Japanese staples like chicken katsu. The recipient of a "Best Food" accolade in 2021 from a local awards circle, it's the kind of everyday sushi local fans rely on.

Arizona: Harumi Sushi & Sake
Harumi Sushi & Sake's purple rice, used in a limited roster of rolls, provides visual flair and a somewhat varied texture to nigiri and hand rolls.

Sushi in a desert city doesn't need to be flashy to be wonderful; Harumi demonstrates that, rather, it just needs to be done with some creativity.
