Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos HD Radio JVC's KD-HDR52 CD receiver features a built-in HD Radio tuner, making it a popular choice for radio addicts everywhere. Beyond providing much-improved sound quality over traditional AM and FM stations, participating stations also provide extra programming options so you have more entertainment choices. And when you hear a song you like on an HD Radio station, this receiver lets you tag it so you can buy it later at the iTunes store. Make it sound the way you like Like to tweak your sound? You've got plenty of ways to do that. The Pro EQ 3-band parametric equalizer gives you much more flexibility than traditional bass, midrange, and treble controls. And the JVC's powerful built-in amplifier and superior digital-to-analog converter treat you to excellent sonic performance, whether you're jamming to your favorite CD or a thumb drive full of music. The included wireless remote allows you or your passengers to control playback from anywhere in the car. Play your iPod®, iPhone®, and other sources You can connect any iPhone or iPod directly to this receiver's front-panel USB input, using the cable that came with your device. You'll control the player from the stereo, so you won't need to fumble around with the iPod itself. Download a free app, and you can also plug an Android phone into the USB port and manage your playlist with the JVC's controls. Load up a disc or a USB thumb drive with your MP3 and WMA files for hours of tunes for your next road trip. A handy front-panel auxiliary input lets you add even more sources, like a Dock & Play satellite radio or an MP3 player. Adding on Two sets of preamp outputs come in handy when you're adding amps and subs. You can switch the rear outputs over to a subwoofer setting that lets you adjust the crossover point and overall level of your subwoofer system. You can also add Bluetooth® functionality with JVC's optional adapter for safer hands-free calls and wireless music streaming with compatible phones. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Can handle peak volume with no distortion, although I almost never crank that loud. Can handle Classical, Heavy Rock, and Folk nicely. Pros: Fit easily. Was this review helpful? Yes No BigMau Written By BigMau, Lords Valley, PA on Saturday, March 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great sounding replacement stereo. Easy installation using crutchfield supplied instructions. I love alll the features and performance. For the price you cannot go wrong with this unit. Pros: Great value for the money and crutchfield supplied installation kit and harness made installation a snap. Great sound for my 2009 Toyota Tacoma. Cons: Knobs vs. Buttons. kinda funny to learn how to operate. Otherwise, great product. Was this review helpful? Yes No very good radio Written By jeflesom, United States on Monday, December 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value The radio works great and works well with my mp3 player. Pros: Great radio Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No JVC KD-HDR52 Written By Dennis B., North Tustin, CA on Friday, November 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I installed the stereo in my 38 Chevrolet Coupe. It sounds great especially the HD Radio. One thing I really like is the red display lighting because it matches the gauge cluster in my Street Rod's dash. The only thing I don't care for is that it is difficult to change from FM1 to FM2. It would be better it the unit had buttons for FM1 FM2 AM and CD rather than the source button. Overall I think it is a good value for the price. Pros: Good Value for the price. Good sound quality. Looks good in my dash. Cons: The controls are a little hard to operate. I miss having a knob to change the stations. Was this review helpful? Yes No great product Written By Mike, Lake Stevens Wa on Sunday, November 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I was shopping for another unit but it was discontinued so i found this one and liked it better Pros: preset channel selection buttons unlike earlier HD decks Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No Very nice for the price Written By Terry, Dublin, OH on Monday, October 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value It does everything I wanted plus a bit more. The iPod/iPhone integration is excellent, allowing me to control the music on the phone from the headset. The sound, particularly on HD radio stations, is really excellent. I'm hearing things (with the aid of my new speakers) that I've never heard before. The sound can be customized in a number of different ways, which I found very useful in balancing the sound from my speakers. I love it! Pros: Great sound with a lot of features. Cons: The features can be distracting when driving :-) 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Stereo Easily Installed Written By Gary L, Omaha, NE on Monday, October 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I was highly impressed with the installation into my 1999 Chevrolet Silverado! I figured this would be a very difficult installation and kind of fought the instructions, but found they were very accurate. Discerning the pigtail wires was difficult for the Green & Black and Purple & Black ground wires...the colors were a bit too dark to distinguished. The Crutchfield adapter from the stereo wiring harness to my factory connector was SUPERB! I had a little bit of time discerning between the faceplate adapter, but got through it pretty well. I am EXTREMELY impressed with the sound and capability, but disappointed a bit not having the ability to connect my phone through the stereo via Bluetooth. Overall, it is a great system for the money and the sound is superb. Crutchfield came through for me....again, and again! Pros: Ease of installation into my 1999 Silverado Pickup, roughly 45 minutes; Fantastic Sound; HD Radio; IPod/USB port on the front along with an audio port. Did I mention fantastic sound and easily installed?? I thought so! Cons: A bit complex in figuring out the many, many operational controls and options once connected; no Bluetooth phone capability.

Pros: Illumination colors match the dash lights in the car. Easy to use and figure out the buttons. front USB. Cons: Radio preloads HD stations with out even trying.

Yes No Third - JVC Car Radio Written By Byron, Vallejo,Ca. on Tuesday, August 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I'm sold on JVC, they make wonderful replacement radios,for factory "junk", that's in your car now. This is my first HD radio, no static, just like a CD. It's worth the extra money. Pros: Great unit,well made,worth the money.

Yes No New Stereo for my whoopty Written By Bob S, Minnesota on Tuesday, July 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This Stereo was purchased to replace a factory stereo that did nothing it was suppose to. Only issue I had wasn't from the stereo it was that the speakers were so poor quality that I needed to replace them too. Pros: Everything it does plays CD's, Ipods, USB, MP3 Cons: NONE Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sound quality Written By Nate, Leesport, PA on Monday, June 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Bought this unit for my coworker as his current unit was lacking features Installed earlier today and he loved the sound quality including how clear hd radio made music sound even with the head unit's built-in amplifier head unit is very user friendly, only took about a minute to show him how to use the major features also nice that even has a lower end unit it still has the dimmer feature that it can dim when his 98 cavalier's headlights are turned on he also looked forward to getting an extra cable for his phone to charge on the usb port the only improvement this could use is the eq button alot of jvc's units have had and variable color Pros: HD Radio, 1 amp usb port Cons: no variable color option or EQ button option Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice for the Price! Written By James, Danville on Friday, May 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great stereo for the price. Sounds good. As usual Crutchfield is a great place to buy from and they include everything you need to install. Was this review helpful? Yes No 93 Miata Written By Lee, CA on Monday, April 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This headunit was going into a 1993 Mazda Miata, so I wanted a headunit that looked somewhat period specific (early 90s) with HD radio and iPOD capability. There's no hint of modern style in the headunit, so it was perfect for my purpose. The 20watt RMS amplifier sounds pretty clean. EQ controls are extensive and great. LOUD and Bass Boost are also effective. One thing I noticed with the fader; you can make adjustments from 0-6 Front/Rear. At 4 or greater Front, the Rears are fed no signal at all. The menus are simple and easy to use. I can see old geezers figuring this one out. PS: This does not reflect on the headunit itself, but the included Metra dash kit for the early Mazda Miata are garbage. It took much modification (beyond the Metra instructions) to make it fit in the dash. I had to drill new holes in the Metra kit to secure it into the headunit. It is very secure in the dash, so I guess that's a plus. Also, the included pocket + spacer are oddly sized; the spacer is wider laterally than the pocket, so if you install both together, it looks really jerry rigged. I elected to use the 1/2 DIN EQ, and used the included blank plate to cover the 1/2 DIN hole it creates. I have considered buying a 1/2 DIN EQ pocket to replace the blank plate, but I'm afraid it may end up looking worse. God this looks terrible. If it bothers me enough I'll buy a decent dash kit to replace the Metra kit. Pros: Cheap(er). HD radio is a big plus. Cons: 1/8" auxillary plug is slightly larger than 1/8...it is unusable. My 1/8" cable doesn't fit and slips out because it's oversized. I would just use the USB/iPOD connector. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent product Written By Chivitrin, Bay area, Ca. on Thursday, April 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Good product for the money, upgrade from a factory radio, I have been buying JVC brand for a while, never a problem with any of them. Pros: Can play music from my phone and can play it using my Ipod too. Cons: Can't think of any so far I bought what I thought was good enough for my needs. Was this review helpful? Yes No JVC KD-HDR52 Written By Ed, Virginia Beach, VA on Sunday, March 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Installed in a 2001 Chevy Cavalier, very tight fit. The adapter plate came with spacers to move the unit further out of dash if needed. Without the spacers it simply would not fit, with the spacers the trim panel could not be reinstalled with out cutting it. I was also disappointed to find that it is not compatible with my Ipod Shuffle, the main reason I chose this radio, my fault for not checking and assuming an Ipod is an Ipod as far as compatibility. Overall, good install instructions and good product, would've gave it 5 stars were it not for the fit issue. Pros: Great product Cons: Tight fit in my application Was this review helpful?

The songs will show up in a playlist called "Tagged" in iTunes the next time you sync your iPod/iPhone. Then you can directly buy the songs you want from the iTunes Music Store. You can "tag" up to 50 songs. Your iPod/iPhone must have at least 50MB of free space to "tag" and transfer songs. iTunes 7.4 or later is required to purchase "tagged" songs. Radio Timer: You can tune into a preset station at a specific time regardless of the head unit's current source. You can activate the Radio Timer once, daily, or turn it completely off. Note: HD Radio is the system for digital AM and FM broadcasting in the U.S. More than 2,000 radio stations are broadcasting their primary signals in digital HD Radio technology, as a free service. Go to HDRadio.com to check for HD Radio stations in your area. Pandora Internet Radio: Pandora is the leading Internet Radio music service in the United States, giving people music they love anytime, anywhere, through personalized radio stations. The JVC KD-HDR52 provides complete access to your Pandora account using your iPhone, via the head unit's front-panel USB port. To access Pandora you must have an Apple iPhone (iOS3 or later) with the latest version of the Pandora App from Apple's iTunes App Store. Your iPhone will need an active Data Plan account with connection to the Internet via 3G, EDGE, or WiFi. In addition, you will need an active Pandora music service account. The JVC KD-HDR52 will display Artist, Album, & Song information provided by the Pandora app on your iPhone. The JVC KD-HDR52 will also provide control over the Pandora music service streamed to your USB-connected iPhone. Station List: You can select Pandora stations from your Station List by date or alphabetically (A-Z). Create New Station: New stations can be created based on the current songs or artists playing on Pandora. Skip Songs: You can skip song tracks within a station. You cannot skip back to a previous song. Pandora limits the number of skips allowed. Thumbs Up/Down: You can give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down to help Pandora personalize stations to suit your preferences. Bookmarking: The song or artist currently being played can be bookmarked & stored in your Pandora account. Note: Access to the Pandora service will depend on the availability of a cellular and/or WiFi network for purposes of allowing your iPhone or smartphone to connect to the Internet. Pandora is not supported in Canada and only available in the United States. Audio Section 24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KD-HDR52 utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality. MOSFET Amplifier: The KD-HDR52 is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the KD-HDR52 are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. The power output specs for the KD-HDR52 are as follows: CEA2006 Specs: 20 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N) Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels (200 total watts) Amplifier Gain Control: When you are using the KD-HDR52 with factory speakers (or those rated to less than 50 watts peak), the Amplifier Gain Control can limit the amount of power being sent to those speakers. When the Amp Gain Control is set to "low," the volume control ranges from 0 (minimum) to 30 (maximum). When using speakers rated higher than 50 watts peak, you can set the Amp Gain Control to "high," and the volume control will range from 0 to 50. 2.5V/4CH Preamp Output: The KD-HDR52 is equipped with two pair of 2.5V preamp outputs (Front, Rear/SW). You can set the Rear/SW preamp outputs for connecting a pair of full-range rear speakers (through an external amplifier) or for connecting a subwoofer (through an external amplifier). When set for rear speakers, the rear outputs operate with the unit's fader control. When set for subwoofer, the outputs are non-fading. Subwoofer Controls: When the unit's Rear/SW preamp output is set to Subwoofer, you can set the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter at 55Hz, 85Hz, or 120Hz. You can adjust the head unit's subwoofer level between -8 and +8 (separate from the main volume level). Pro EQ: The KD-HDR52 is equipped with JVC's Pro EQ. The integrated equalizer offers 7 preset sound modes (Flat, Natural, Dynamic, Vocal Boost, Bass Boost, & User) suitable for the music genre of your choice. The User mode allows you to manually adjust the head unit's 3-band parametric EQ (Frequency, Level, and Q-Factor). Pro EQ Frequency Level Q Bass 60, 80, 100, 200 Hz +/- 12 dB (-6 to +6) 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0 Midrange 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5 kHz +/- 12 dB (-6 to +6) 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 Treble 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5 kHz +/- 12 dB (-6 to +6) Fixed Note: You can store Pro EQ bass, middle and treble tone settings for each source (CD, AM/FM, Aux, USB, iPod, Bluetooth, and Pandora). Bass Boost: The unit's Bass Boost enhances low bass frequencies. Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume level. You can set this feature to High, Low, or Off. Volume Adjust: The input level of each source (other than FM) is adjustable relative to the FM radio volume, so there isn't a significant volume difference when changing sources. Each source is individually adjustable from -5 to +5. Key Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off. Display Features Detachable Face: The JVC KD-HDR52 features a detachable face to deter theft. No face-case is provided. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can be purchased for this unit. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired. LCD: The head unit features a 14-segment, one-line LCD with adjustable brightness and dimmer settings. Brightness: The unit offers an adjustable display and button illumination brightness level (0-31) for day and nighttime driving. Display/Button Illumination Dimmer: The display/button illumination dimmer can be set to Off (normal brightness at all times), On (display/button illumination is always dimmed), or Auto (display dims when 12-volts is applied to the orange/white illumination lead). Remote/Bluetooth Control Wireless Remote Control: The KD-HDR52 comes supplied with a wireless remote control (RM-RK52). The remote contains Attenuator, Sound, Source, Tracking, and Volume functions. The remote operates off of a single CR2025 3V Lithium-cell battery (included). Optional Bluetooth: The JVC KS-BTA100 Bluetooth Adapter (105KSTBA10, sold separately) provides Bluetooth hands-free communication and digital audio streaming functions for the JVC KD-HDR52. The JVC KS-BTA100 gives you hands-free communication from your compatible Bluetooth mobile phone and wireless streaming audio from a Bluetooth enabled digital audio player, when connected to the JVC in-dash head unit. The JVC Bluetooth Adapter includes a super-sensitive microphone, an Answer/End button, and playback controls.

(Second) Kiriko's $40 Lunch Sushi Omakase, w/Photos
The title's a bit ambiguous as this was my fourth visit to Kiriko, but it's my second time having their lunch sushi omakase. You can read about the first time, which I really enjoyed, and the other two visits, which were not as great, here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/848518/.
After a disappointing time with their non-omakase lunch offerings, I'm happy to report that their $40 lunch sushi omakase is still a vast improvement from, and well worth the additional $16 over, their Deluxe Jou Sushi moriawase.
I arrived just after noon to an empty sushi bar and a few occupied tables of business men and women on their power lunches. I was seated the rightmost section of the bar with well-worn wood separating me and Shinji-san (I gotta be extra careful not to write "Shunji" during this review), instead of the usual glass case.
I was served the salad and miso soup first. A good start, but pretty standard. I did get one perfect cube of tofu in my misoshiru, which was very exciting, but I digress. After the starters, Shinji-san began my 10-piece sushi omakase with...
1. & 2. Hon Maguro Akami (bluefin tuna), Chutoro (medium fatty tuna), brushed with shoyu. The akami neta appeared to be a normal-size cut sitting on the shari, but it was deceptively thick. Not that I'm complaining, as the fish had a great flavor to it, strong but clean. The chutoro had a really beautiful gradient, running from medium-red to light pink across the piece. It was slightly chewier than the chutoro from my first visit, but still fantastic.
3. Tai (red snapper), topped with sea salt and lemon juice/zest. The flavor of the fish itself was very delicate and sweet, and (strangely but pleasantly) had an almost cream-soda-like undertone, kind of how uni often has a note of coconut to it.
4. Kanpachi (amberjack), brushed with shoyu. This was another thick cut of fish, which was flavorful with a hint of smokiness. Unfortunately, it had a little too much wasabi and was a little saltier than I would have preferred.
5. Homemade smoked salmon, topped with caviar. I paid special attention to this piece as the smoked salmon from my first two visits were very subtly smoked with little change to the texture of the fish, whereas the piece from the moriawase was over-smoked and more akin in texture to what one puts on bagels and cream cheese. Today's piece was definitely on the smokier side, not as delicate as the first two times, but it at least retained a little more of the texture of raw salmon.
6. Hotate (scallop), topped with sea salt and lemon juice/zest. It was a decent piece, a little more briny and less sweet compared to the piece from my first omakase.
7. Aji (Spanish mackerel), topped with kizami negi and grated shoga. The neta was deeply scored, so that as soon as I put the piece into my mouth, it fell apart. A little more "fishy" than last time, but not bad.
8. Isaki (grunt), topped with yuzukosho. This was the second time I've had isaki, and this time I could taste a distinct flavor different from tai and other shiromi, but I can't quite describe it. The yuzukosho did add a strong saltiness that luckily did not overpower the isaki like it did with the kinmedai from my first omakase.
9. Seared Toro (fatty tuna), topped with "unagi sauce" and "relish" (for lack of proper terms). The toro was prepared aburi, scorched with a blowtorch so that it looked almost like beef. It was an interesting contrast of flavors and textures between the sizzled, oily outer layer, the soft, fatty insides, and the sweetness of the sauce. It was amazingly good.
10. Blue crab hand roll, with cucumber. Sadly, the temaki was not as good as the first time. It looked somewhat smaller, which is fine as quality is more important than quantity, but was more mayonnaise-y than last time. The blue crab "salad" had small but noticeable pieces of the inner shell, the roll started to leak "juice" from its tail-end as I bit into it, and the temaki fell apart before the last bite.
I had pretty much the perfect blue crab hand roll the first time, so this was kind of a bummer way to end today's omakase, but overall I still found the meal head-and-shoulders above the moriawase in quality, and I lucked out by being served two pieces of fatty tuna, with the chutoro at the beginning and the seared toro toward the end.
(I threw in a photo of the dessert menu, even though I decided to skip dessert today.)
[Mods, I started a new thread since my previous Kiriko thread was a few weeks old and hadn't had a comment in over a week, and it was getting a bit unwieldy to read and comment on. But feel free to move this thread into that one, if you'd rather keep it as one thread.]
Additional thoughts:
I was glad the that the fish varied a bit between my two times. That would have been my expectation, even with a fixed-price lunch omakase. The pieces both had in common were hon maguro akami, chutoro, tai, aji, homemade smoked salmon, hotate, and the blue crab hand roll. I would say the smoked salmon and the temaki were much better the first time, while the akami and tai were better today.
As for what was different between the two visits, I was served hamachi, katsuo, and kinmedai during my first visit, as compared to the kanpachi, isaki, and seared toro from today. If I could, I'd probably trade the kanpachi for another piece of kinmedai instead.
The shari was (pleasantly) barely warm like the first visit, which was not the case with the moriawase as every piece was served together, so the rice cools down on the pieces that were eaten later. I'm not sure I prefer warm shari in general, but I do prefer it at Kiriko.
The service from the waitstaff continues to be excellent; I don't think my glass of ice water went empty for more than a minute. Comparing the two itamae (I sat in front of Tomo-san the first time), I would say Shinji-san was somewhat less conversational and seemed a little more intense than Tomo-san, who always had a smile.
This is not to say Shinji-san was intimidating or unpleasant in any way. He explained what each piece was (and seemed a little bit impressed that I knew what isaki was) and answered my few questions in a friendly manner. Perhaps I just felt a bit disconnected today because of where I was sitting, not being able to see what Shinji-san was doing behind the solid block of wood, whereas I could watch Tomo-san prepare my entire omakase the first time. But no real complaints, and I'd gladly sit in front of Shinji-san again.
re: PeterCC
I agree, you lucked out, 2 pieces of toro is probably $15-$20 during dinner service.
re: prawn
I know, I felt very lucky. I wonder if the toro was seared because it wasn't a cut that was good enough to be served fully raw. Regardless, it was delicious seared.
(I've also wondered if the toro in toro negimaki is lower grade, or if it's just the trimmings that were left over from cuts for nigiri pieces.)
re: PeterCC
I might have to try Kiriko again based on this. At dinner, I've had HORRID service (multiple visits), but it sounds like at lunch, it's not so busy and you actually get attentive service.
Thanks for the review and pics.
re: vinosnob
No problem. I agree about dinner service being not as good, though I've only been to dinner there once, and sat at a table. The service luckily wasn't horrid for me, but it was definitely much slower.
I've been there for lunch three times each time at the bar, and the first time was the busiest, with maybe two-thirds of the place occupied. Service was a little "sloppy" that time (was served the salad after the first piece of nigiri and soup a few more pieces later), but it was still pretty good. The other two lunches, they were less crowded, and the waitstaff was very attentive.
re: vinosnob
Maybe only because I've had limited experience at Kiriko, but I thought my omakase dinner service was very good.
re: taiwanesesmalleats
taiwanesesmalleats, with your username, I was wondering if you've checked this thread out: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/850807
re: J.L.
If you want to pay me, I'm available for hire as a ghostwriter for sushi reviews. :-)
I'll do it eventually. It's just really difficult in the evenings (that's why I haven't been back to Shunji in a while). I gotta arrange a babysitter (kids love sushi, but they'll bankrupt me if I take them to places like Kiriko or Shunji), and possibly a wife-sitter...
re: PeterCC
The amount of jack you've paid so far for your cumulative Nihonryori forays at Kiriko & Shunji alone (and these are just the ones you let us know about) would suggest that you're ready for a dinner jaunt.
re: J.L.
I'm an open (and verbose) book. You know about all my trips! :-)
I'm not saying I wouldn't enjoy or appreciate the real deal. I'm just not sure I can sell my wife on the price, even if (or perhaps especially if) I'm eating solo.
Also, I can get 2 to 3 (or more) lunch sushi omakase for the price of one "full monty", so I can extend the experience throughout an entire month as opposed having just one outing, even if that one time is truly manifold better.
One thing I could possibly do sooner rather than later, to appease J.L., sushi connaisseur extraordinaire, is to do their full omakase during lunch. I would probably choose to set a $80 maximum (which is their minimum) but that way I can do a comparison with what I've already had there. Don't hold your breath on that happening any time soon though. :-)
re: PeterCC
You misspelled connoisseur (which I'm not, by the way). Lunch, no matter how opulent, is still only "getting to third base" in my book.
Friendly advice (unsolicited, I'm aware)... At the frequency you eat out (and I know 'cuz you document it on the threads), stop bleeding money by not doing omakase or moriawase lunches for 2-3 weeks, and save that money for a bangin' dinner for you AND your wife. Dinner. You seem very passionate about sushi; your spouse will eventually need to understand the inherent price points for you new-found passion anyways. Who knows, maybe she'll share your love for sushi after the experience! :-)
re: J.L.
Sorry, "connaisseur" is the French spelling. I spent a few years living in Montreal (mmm, poutine). I don't speak French, but I picked up some francophone habits, e.g. I usually have to correct my own spelling of "theater" as I almost always type "theatre" first (I know, the British spell it that way too).
Can I call you an aficionado, then? :-)
Thanks, I do appreciate the advice, and the baseball-slash-sex metaphors. For what it's worth, the waitstaff says the full-priced Kiriko omakase is the same experience for lunch as it is for dinner.
Now that you've planted the seed in my head, I think I will plan to cut down on eating out for a few weeks and do a full omakase sometime in the next month, probably solo, and probably limiting it to the $80 minimum for my first time, as I mentioned before.
(See how susceptible I am to suggestion?)
My wife does love sushi, but she usually sticks with sake and hamachi (though I'm sure she'd love inada, warasa, buri too). Except for that one occasion when we splurged for it at Shunji, she won't generally go for omakase, as she wouldn't seek out most of the fish being served on her own (I know, that's part of the fun, for me).
So I have to be a bit strategic and strike at the right moment. Right now I'm just trying to warm her up to Kiriko. Her Sawtelle Sushi moriawase last time was unfortunately just as mediocre as my Deluxe Jou Sushi moriawase, so that didn't do the trick.
Today, I noticed a wild salmon sampler listed on the specials menu, with at least three or four different species of salmon (some smoked) and one type of wild trout, which is right up her alley. Maybe I'll try to convince her to go tomorrow, get that and a hand roll (she doesn't eat much, another reason a long extensive omakase isn't a great fit for her), and hope that she ends up loving it.
This way, I prime her down the road for the idea of a full omakase there, to celebrate one of our birthdays or for our anniversary or some other occasion that'd warrant spending over $200 on a dinner for two.

Kiriko is fun like that. Whatever is good & fresh - they'll serve it! Enjoy your dinner for two!
I forgot to mention that I asked Shinji-san yesterday about their ikura. At first he thought I wanted to order some, but then I clarified that I wanted to know how it was. Shinji-san said that it's off-season right now and that it will be better in the summer. I'm sure they had some in their case behind the bar, so it speaks volumes that he discouraged an $8 up-sell because I cared enough to ask.
(I can't remember right now, and I can't find it in any of my other threads or comments, but I'm sure I asked another itamae the same question a few weeks ago and received a similar response. I think it may have been Tomo-san, and the reason I asked again about it yesterday was because I couldn't remember when exactly it would be in season again. So, good on both of them.)
Like someone who is going on a diet but starting "tomorrow", I'm procrastinating on following J.L.'s advice to save up for the full omakase at Kiriko for one more day. I took my wife back today specifically to try the wild salmon sushi sampler ($20), which was not on the menu the first few times I was there, so I wanted to make sure she had a chance to have it before it's gone again. To round out her salmon obsession, she also ordered a salmon skin hand roll ($5).
A glutton for punishment (and sushi), I decided to try one of the lunch specials again rather than spend another $40 on the lunch sushi omakase. This time, however, rather than ordering one of the moriawase, I took JudiAU's advice from the other thread and ordered the three hand roll set lunch ($14.50). Since the set lunch was so reasonably priced, I added on an order of live sweet shrimp ($16).
We were seated in front of Tomo-san, and after the salad and soup that came with my set lunch, we started in on the sushi...
My wife's wild salmon sushi sampler was made up of five beautiful pieces of salmon. Unfortunately for me, I only got to sample a few small bites:
1. Fresh wild king salmon, which had a really clean and light taste, not overly oily or even though it has a higher fat content relative to other salmon.
2. House-smoked wild king salmon, which had a nice smokiness from the applewood, and a tighter texture than the fresh wild king salmon.
3. Smoked Copper River sockeye salmon, with a beautiful ruddiness to it, and a stronger, more concentrated flavor.
4. Seared Norwegian ocean trout, brushed with shoyu, topped with kizami negi, shredded daikon radish, and a dollop of white sauce, which had a mild salmon-like flavor (the fish, not the sauce).
5. Fresh Atlantic salmon, which I did not get to sample. :-/
My wife seemed to like the fresh wild king salmon the most, and thought the seared Norwegian ocean trout was "interesting" (_not_ used pejoratively). Overall, she enjoyed these pieces of nigiri much more than the pieces from her Sawtelle Sushi moriawase last time. She also really enjoyed the salmon skin temaki, remarking that unlike other places, the pieces of salmon skin still had a decent amount of meat intact.
(When we were leaving, she said she'd definitely come back to Kiriko with me in the future. Yay!)
My three hand roll set lunch was also quite good. I had gotten the negihama (yellowtail with scallion), the unagi and avocado, and blue crab temaki. Each were expertly made and tasted quite good. In the future, though, I'd probably swap out the unagi and avocado and swap in a salmon skin instead.
(Take this with a grain of salt, as it's based on a miniscule sample size, but I definitely preferred the temaki that Tomo-san made to the one that Shinji-san made yesterday. The blue crab hand roll had none of the problems it had yesterday--well, except for a little bit of shell in the mix, which is not something influenced by how the temaki is constructed. I would still like to go back and order the three hand roll set lunch while sitting in front of Shinji-san before declaring a winner.)
After I had finished the hand rolls, I watched Tomo-san dispatch two large, still-kicking shrimps. The nigiri pieces were delicious, sweet and clean and firm, and the wasabi really accentuated the flavor of the amaebi.
The heads were sent into the kitchen, and came back crisp and golden red. They were actually much more plump than other fried amaebi heads that I've had in the past. One was full of tomalley, some of which actually bubbled out of the shell during the deep-frying, and the other was full of roe, which was a treat I hadn't had in a fried amaebi head before.
Since the heads came with a dipping sauce that had what would traditionally be kizami negi in it, and since I could see a bundle of the thinner, greener "scallions" in the cold case, I took the opportunity to ask Tomo-san if the negi they used was actually scallion or if it was asatsuki, which I had speculated it being since my first visit. He confirmed that they do use asatsuki, which he said has a better flavor while being less pungent than scallions.
All in all, a successful lunch, as the goal was to turn around my wife's opinion of the place. And I may have found a loophole so I don't have to stay away from Kiriko completely while trying to save up for their full omakase: at $14.50*, including salad and soup, the three hand roll set lunch is an excellent deal and a Kiriko lunch special I can finally get behind (or in front of).
*Mine was $16.50 today, due to the additional $1 for the unagi and $1 for the blue crab.
re: PeterCC
Thanks for the update. Yes, I should have mentioned the salmon skin roll as a good alternative too.
re: JudiAU
Thanks again for the recommendation.
Went back today for lunch. (This will be my shortest review on CH.) Place was near-empty when I arrived; waitress said to sit anywhere. Wanted to give Shinji-san another try on the temaki, so I sat in his section of the bar. But, like a dummy, I took the closest seat to the door, behind the solid block of wood again, which I still find cuts me off from the itamae and even the waitstaff a little.
I ordered the $14.50 three hand roll lunch set: salmon skin, negihama, blue crab (+ $1). Service had one bad blip--I had to remind the waiter that my lunch came with salad and soup, after I saw that someone who had come in and ordered after me had already got hers.
Glad to report all three hand rolls were well constructed. Had the negihama first; still really like that they use asatsuki rather than "regular" negi. Blue crab next; not quite as mayonnaise-y as the last time, and the roll held together well despite not being eaten right away. Salmon skin last; probably my favorite of the three, as they definitely use the house-smoked salmon to make it.
Still think I prefer Tomo-san slightly over Shinji-san, but no complaints. Left a $20 to cover the $15.50 + tax and tip. Highly recommended (instead of "good, quick, cheap: pick two", you get all three)!
(Before J.L. chastises me for going to Kiriko for lunch again rather than the full omakase, I'm basically treating this as a completely separate beast than going for omakase. After all, I could spend just as much on a "regular" lunch at Umami Burger or some other place, but I decided to spend it at Kiriko instead.)
(Oh, and for anyone who thinks I'm going to write a review for every little visit... Don't worry, no more reviews on the three hand roll lunch, unless something extraordinary happens during a visit. Today, I mostly wanted to report back that the first blue crab temaki that I had from Shinji-san was apparently not an indicator of how he makes temaki in general, which is just as good as Tomo-san.)
re: PeterCC
I wasn't gonna say anything, man...
I'm still too stuffed from my magnificent omakase last night whith Shinji-san at Kiriko (yes, I went into bonus rounds and bonus desserts; photos to follow).
re: J.L.
Please call Peter out J.L.!
Shinji-san and Tomo-san are equal IMO, but each has his own tendencies. Shinji-san leans closer to the fusion side, being quite handywith the blowtorch and saucing, etc. Tomo-san is more old-school, but has slightly better knifework. I usually alternate between the two.
re: chrishei
Hehehe - I've put enough pressure on poor PeterCC already...
My current Kiriko shokunin tally:
Ken-san: 8+
Tomo-san: 5
Shinji-san: 5
They're all gifted shokunin, IMHO.
re: J.L.
Heh, for a sec there I thought you were rating them.
My own tally is:
Tomo-san: 1
Shinji-san: 2
Table Service: 1 (I couldn't tell who was making our meal)
Ken-san: 0 (yet)
Would you recommend I request a specific itamae when I do go for my full omakase? It seems most natural to request Ken-san as he is the owner, but would it be weird to request Tomo-san?
re: chrishei
Call me out on which topic? For prefering Tomo-san over Shinji-san, or for doing lunch again at Kiriko? :-)
Already explained the going back a few comments upthread (and in response to TonyC in this thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/851745). Between him and you (if this is what you're asking J.L. to call me out on), and J.L. (though, to his credit, not today), I better get to a real omakase, and fast. Heh.
As for the itamae preference, I haven't eaten there enough, or rather, had the omakase prepared by each (I assume that one itamae acts as the primary chef for the entire meal) to suss out the different strengths of each.
For me, it's more the attitude; while Shinji-san has never been anything but completely professional and courteous, Tomo-san seems to take that extra step to make me feel more welcome. For instance, even though I was sitting deep in Shinji-san's section of the bar today, Tomo-san came over and said hello and asked me how I was.
(I am not faulting Shinji-san at all. I'm a relatively shy person and would probably act more like Shinji-san than Tomo-san if the situation was reversed.)
re: PeterCC
I'm just giving you a hard time Peter :)
But a man of your knowledge and palate would definitely appreciate the full omakase at dinner.
And once you get Shunji-san to open up, he's quite the jokester.
re: chrishei
I figured you were. I'd like to think that I'm considered accepted into the community now that CH regulars have started (jokingly) giving me grief on stuff. :-)
You mean Shinji-san, right? I already have a good rapport with Shunji-san. :-) (God, I need to get back to that place! Just much harder to get out for dinner than it is for lunch.) Sounds like Shinji-san has to be more comfortable with someone before letting loose, which I understand as I am the same way.
re: PeterCC
After reading your reviews, I tried the Temaki lunch finally. Salmon skin roll is very good, as suggested. However, as a regular Kiriko customer, I did shock everyone in the house that I didn't order "sushi omakase" for lunch that day though. LOL.
re: LAmaggie
Heh, that's great! It's an amazing value, and either they'll lose a little money from me ordering that for $14.50 rather than the $40 lunch sushi omakase, or they'll make a little more money from me coming in more often than I would if I only ordered the lunch omakase, so it probably evens out.
Do you get the $40 lunch sushi omakase or the full-fledged ($80-$120, as warned on the menu) omakase? Have you ever gotten the $50 sashimi and sushi lunch omakase?
re: PeterCC
They probably lose money from me ordering $14.5 rather than $40, since I don't go there often during lunch. LOL.
I tried everything in Kiriko : lunch sushi omakase ($40), sashimi and sushi omakase ($50) and full omakase for dinner. I usually get the sushi omakase ($40) if I go there for lunch. I tried may be once last year for the sashimi and sushi omakase (I think the price is just $4X last year). You got two plate of various sashimi (similar to what you get from Dinner omakase), and 5 pieces of sushi. I don't think I got a handroll for the sushi part, so ended up not that FULL. haha.
re: LAmaggie
Video game developer Andy Gavin posted photos of three of his omakase-at-lunch visits to Kiriko here: http://all-things-andy-gavin.com/2011...
The first visit seems to be the what-is-now-$50 sashimi and sushi lunch omakase, as it ends with four pieces of nigiri and it did (for him) end with a blue crab hand roll. However, he got way more than two plates of sashimi; instead if I'm parsing his photos properly, it looks like he got five plates, each with two or three different fish. That would be a great deal for $50, if it were true. I got the $30 assorted sashimi at dinner there once, and it was nowhere near as much sashimi as what he got.
On his second visit, he "ordered a more elaborate sashimi omakase, which is mixed in here with a simpler sushi/sashimi one." I think that means the pictures are of two omakase orders.
On his third visit, he says it's another "sushi and sashimi" lunch omakase, and this one looks closer to what I would expect for the $50 one, with two plates of assorted sashimi and a plate of four nigiri pieces and the blue crab hand roll, but he also shows pictures a plate of sake sashimi and a plate with hotate nigiri and uni gunkanmaki.
I think the simplest explanation is that he asked to add on to the fixed-price lunch omakase. If people are able to do that and order single pieces (like the hotate and uni), that's something I would be very interested in doing next time.
re: PeterCC
I am not sure how he got so many food for $50. I think his third visit make more sense, but I agreed with you, the hotate as well as uni should be add-on.
You can always add items after done w/ the fixed-price lunch. I did add the sockeye as well as asari nigiri after the temaki set. LOL.
re: LAmaggie
Wow, the asari nigiri is beautifully prepared. Glad to know I can add on single pieces to the lunch omakase because there are things I want to try but don't want to get a full two-piece order. Don't suppose they let people order single pieces after the temaki lunch... :-)
re: PeterCC
I have never seen a sushi joint turn down single piece orders...you just gotta pay.
re: ns1
*shrug* I've very little experience at this level of sushi-ya, but the low-to-mid range places I've been to in the past would generally only do the standard two-piece orders when placed a la carte.
One of the last times I was in Kiriko, I asked how much the live ama ebi was, and they said $16, two shrimp. They didn't tell me I could order just one, not that I minded having the second one. :-) Next time I go in for the temaki lunch, I'll try to order single pieces and see what happens. Not that I'm doubting you, ns1. :-)
re: PeterCC
For example, sushi gen does two per order by default. which is why you ask for 1 piece only ;)
I bet you'd have far better luck with this at the bar versus the table.
re: ns1
Yes, try SUSHI ZO. After finish the whole course of omakase, the chef asked us if we want anything extra, whatever we requested he said no more (we asked for couple items), but then you saw him prepared what you asked for to the customer next to you after couple minutes. We were pissed.
re: LAmaggie
Yeah I'd never go back [to Sushi Zo if I had that experience]. JUST TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY.
re: PeterCC
the asari nigiri is awesome! ^^ Well, you know for dinner, you can also just do sushi omakase, which is not fixed-price, probably more expensive than lunch ($40), but cheaper than full omakase.
I went back for the temaki lunch again today, but after the discussion with LAmaggie about the the lunch sashimi and sushi omakase and what it consists of (based on photos from Andy Gavin's blog), I was overwhelmed with curiosity and decided to break my diet-from-omakase and try it for myself.
I was given a choice of seating, and though it felt a little awkward walking past Shinji-san, I sat down on the next-to-last chair at the bar, in front of Tomo-san, the same seat where I had my first lunch sushi omakase, my first meal at Kiriko. After salad and soup (they didn't forget this time), I started with the sashimi courses...
1. A plate of two fish: one piece of house-smoked salmon, wrapped around a slice of mango, topped with caviar; three slices of wild kanpachi topped with asatsuki, yuzukosho, and a vinegar gelée.
The salmon was more smoked than I would have liked; I think the first few times I had the house-smoked salmon--barely, but still distinctly, smoked--must have been the exception rather than the rule (unfortunately, imo). The mango looked perfect, but was very ripe and therefore almost cloyingly sweet, and overshadowed the fish a bit (and the caviar completely; I can't even remember tasting it).
While I understand kanpachi is already considered shiromi no sakana, the color and texture of this wild kanpachi was more like tai or hirame than the kanpachi I've had in the past. The difference between the wild and farmed kanpachi was greater than that between inada and hamachi (haven't had buri yet to compare to hamachi). The wild kanpachi also had a very different taste and texture, again closer to tai or kinmedai, and was probably the best part of the meal.
2. A plate of one cephalopod and two fish: hotaru ika, lightly streaked with dressing; kinmedai topped with lemon juice, sea salt, and lemon zest; kanpachi carpaccio, topped with vinegar gelée and jalapeño slices. Served with freshly grated wasabi, which was excellent with each.
The hotaru ika were larger than ones I had previously at other places, and I could discern the quill in the chew, but it just introduced an additional textural contrast to the barely chewy body and creamy insides.
The kinmedai was nearly as good as it was the last time there, but two things kept it from equaling my past impressions of the fish. First, it was not prepared aburi, seared with a blowtorch, which concentrates the flavor of the delicate strip of skin left on each slice; second, it had stiff competition in the wild kanpachi above, and the latter barely won out.
The kanpachi carpaccio, like the house-smoked salmon wrapped around mango, appears to be one of Ken-san's signature dishes. It was very good, with the the various toppings adding something different to the flavor and texture mix. But like the kinmedai, the kanpachi could not compete with its wilder cousin for top fish.
I was then served the five pieces of sushi on one plate:
1. Maguro - big eye tuna, per Tomo-san. I'm not sure I can discern the differences between big eye and yellowfin, but it was clearly not the bluefin I've been having recently. It was almost supermarket tuna sushi in taste and texture. (Is yellowfin closer to bluefin, or do I just think so because of the similar name?)
2. Sake - fresh salmon sushi; a tasty, if unremarkable, specimen.
3. Albacore, topped with asatsuki and toasted slivers of garlic - another decent but standard piece of sushi, though the garlic made it stand out a little.
4. Toro, seared - as great as it was last time I had it, but the sauce drizzled on top was just a little too sweet.
5. Blue crab hand roll - I guess that solves the mystery of whether blue crab hand roll comes with the sashimi and sushi lunch omakase. It has to be a coincidence, or maybe just psychosomatic on my part, but I swear the blue crab hand rolls, when I have it on days I sit in front of Tomo-san, are better and less mayonnaise-y than at other times.
I realized after the moriawase experience that I do not prefer multiple pieces of nigiri (beyond two) to be served together. The shari gets cold in the pieces eaten later, and the flavor and even texture of the fish changes the longer the wait between being sliced and eaten. (Yes, this is old news to you sushi-tsu.) So I was disappointed that the sushi "courses" of the omakase was actually just one course, all served together, and the pieces were noticeably smaller than in the sushi-only lunch omakase.
Overall, I definitely prefer the sushi lunch omakase over the sashimi and sushi lunch omakase. I like the experience of having the itamae place a individual piece of nigiri on the geta and savoring each on its own. The pacing was also "jumpy" in that I was served three plates, rather than 10 individual pieces, over the same period of time.
Also, while I enjoyed the wild kanpachi tremendously, I don't think I'd spend the additional $10 over the $40 lunch sushi omakase for two small plates of sashimi and five fewer pieces of sushi. I might as well spend another $30 on top of the extra $10 and go for the full omakase (I know, it just _starts_ at $80), which I fully intend to do, sometime after my crazy 24-hour food tour.
Oh, after seeing the picture of the uni ice cream that J.L. posted in his recent review of the full omakase (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/852226), I had to try it for myself. The $11 order was larger than the portion that came with the omakase, as one might expect of an individual dish of the stuff. The presentation was simple but beautiful, with the texture of the scoop of ice cream looking like the texture of uni itself, and the salsa gazpacho gleaming like it held gems under the surface. The flavor was quite heady, with gazpacho's cool mellow heat both bostering and tempering the the sweet and bold flavor of the uni ice cream. The nori tempura added a contrasting texture to the whole dish. I would definitely order it again or hope it's still being served when I get around to experiencing my first full omakase at Kiriko.
In the meantime, back to the straight and narrow of the $14.50 temaki lunch set.
re: PeterCC
Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the sashimi and sushi omakase that much. Smoked Salmon with mango and caviar is one of my favorite Kiriko dish. I believe the vinegar gelee that you mentioned are "yuzu gelee". When I had my sashimi and sushi omakase long time ago, my sushi was served individually. However, it may be because Shinji does know that I am not in a hurry like the other lunch customers. I agreed that the wild kanpachi (from Kagoshima) tastes different from the farmed one. I had the sushi, not the sashimi on Thu night.
The uni icecream is huge for $11!! compared to what I had for omakase two weeks ago. I also noticed another interesting facts, I think this is the third or forth time that I went to Kiriko the day before you did. :P
BTW, I think Bluefin tuna > Bigeye tuna > Yellowfin tuna in terms of price.
re: LAmaggie
Don't get me wrong, it was more enjoyable than the sushi/sashimi I've been eating all my life, except for the big eye tuna, which was on par with the average places I frequented.
Tomo-san definitely said it was a kind of vinegar that made up the gelee, and the tartness did not have a strong citrus component, but for all I know it could have had both yuzu and vinegar in it.
(Did you mean the gelee on the wild kanpachi or tr carpaccio? I wasn't sure, but I think they were different and the one on the carpaccio may have been yuzu as it did seem more citrus-y than the gelee on the wild kanpachi.)
re: PeterCC
Damn, that uni ice cream sounds good. It is supposed to be dessert or is it just called uni ice cream?
Where's jl's original review of it?
And now I might just be overdue on visit to Kiriko, though I have limited sushi dollars these days, and may hit up Shunji's on pico again, or just save and save and save those dollars and pennies (pennies do help too, it all adds up in the end) and just go whole hog on urasawa one time.
re: kevin
Okay, technically J.L. did a "pictorial essay" rather than a written review, which is linked in my comment above, but here it is again: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/852226.
I think it could serve as either dessert or, as it's listed on the menu, cold tapas. The gazpacho is savory, and I personally would lean toward the dish being a starter.
re: PeterCC
Yeah, I also hate the one all on one plate style, I like it once piece at a time. or if it's a place that serves sushi in a pair only, then that way too.

PAN Newsletter, Year End 2012 & 30th Anniversary Issue
By 1982, the luster of industrial agriculture—the so-called "Green Revolution"—had faded in developing countries. The promised dramatic increases in yields from "miracle" hybrid grains that required high inputs of water, chemical fertilizers and pesticides failed to deliver and were revealed as campaigns to sell technology to people who couldn't afford it. Local communities were losing control over their own food systems, and women and children shouldered more of the fieldwork—and bore the brunt of pesticide exposure. The global pesticide trade was, however, yielding dramatic profits for chemical companies as more and more farmers were trapped on a pesticide treadmill.
That was the world when PAN was founded.

i got the bite shoes made by crocs and they are really good. I know what you mean by the toe wearing out. I have worn many nice boots. The Bites have a toe that wraps over the front and are also waterproof. I got mine a half size to small but they are still a good shoe. They are hard to find because they discontinued them, but if you can find them I would get a pair.
I am a huge fan of the north face shoes for golfing. Mine have retained water proofness for well over two years now. I have very wide feet and the NF shoes are very cozy for big feet. My brother has narrow feet and swears by Salomen's so I would really stress trying them on. The model of NF I have now have a great toe guard for sidearm throws.
I have played exclusively in Hi-Tecs. I have two pairs right now. My older pair are Rogues and the newer pair is Commandos. Both say that they are waterproof but I never trust that and I spray them with Tectron if I know that I will be playing in wet conditions. I have even used the Tectron right before I head out the door with good results. They are comfortable and I usually get at least a year out of them.
Hi-Tec shoes grip well on all surfaces, the waterproofing lasts a couple of months, they last about a year, and they are inexpensive. I use these when i have to deal with wet surfaces.
When it's dry, I love my Vans.
Five Ten Impacts (high tops)..Check out my review on Zappo's.com..The best disc golf shoe I've owned.
Since I was in the Military, I have grown accustom to Steel toed boots. They are durable, waterproof, and provide great protection for my feet.
But as I get older, I had developed problems with Plantar.
So I bought a pair of "Skeletoes" with toed socks.
It is a big difference, due to being a hell of a lot lighter, and it feels almost like I am wearing nothing at all.
Down side, protection is out the window and so is the water proof.
So for me, it is two extremes.
Comfortable Trail Runners !!!
I love my Keens, but they're not cheap. Like you, I tear up my right toe on my forehand shots--therefore I needed a really heavy-duty toe guard. So I went with an expensive pair of Keen-Dry shoes (don't remember the model name). 18 months later and they're the best pair of shoes I've ever owned. They stay dry in a swamp and robust in the New Mexico desert.
