Ota-San has finally opened a second location: Hane Sushi in San Diego. And it could arguably be the best sushi spot in California. (I have known about this development since the ideas inception, but because it is so dope, I didn’t want to publicize it. Plus, I was sworn to secrecy.)
Chef Yukito Ota is of course, the mastermind behind Sushi Ota, where the Japanese execs go. (And where your humble author has gone since he was a little pup, prototype G.)
Hane Sushi could be even doper than Sushi Ota. It certainly has doper decor with a lot of dark rich wood around the spot.
Legend has it, Ota-San and his crew went by all the other sushi restaurants in the hood and gave them fair warning they are moving in. Class all the way.
I have been a few times and gone Sashimi bonkers: lots of fresh lobster, toro, aji, kampachi, crazy uni and aoyagi. Washed down with mad Yebisu Beer (bottled in Tokyo).
Peeled some fly Asian girls out the spot already.
Package this place with a move over to hear my boy DJ Ratty (Southern California’s most underrated DJ along with DJ Greyboy) spin and you are in there like Eames lounge chairs.

Never Die Alone by Donald Goines is one of my favorite books. Goines is a master of the visual, gritty drug infested street life. A world that I have more than a passing knowledge of. And with Goines it is always based on a true story.
Keep in mind, Donald Goines wrote 16 novels in 5 years. Goines himself kept it moving in this world of the urban street as he was a hustler, Pimp and heroin addict. A perspective that gives him uncanny authority and authenticity to write about it.
Never Die Alone’s “hero” is King David, the coldest cat in all of literature. And when I say “coldest cat” I mean cold, like dry ice on the South Pole. Close to pure Evil.
King David, sharp dressed and Caddy driving, is also one of the original East Coast-West Coast G’s. Villainous. And Poisonous.
A must read for all up and coming G’s. They should also make this a must read for schools to keep kids out of the Drug Game.
