Goshi, a North County Treat!
Growing up in Paso Robles there weren’t a lot of eclectic food options for most of my childhood. If we wanted to have something a little more adventuresome we had to go out in San Luis Obispo or beyond. As time went on and the wine industry grew, along came more and more great places to eat. One of those places is Goshi Japanese Restaurant, located in downtown Paso on Pine St. near the train station. Specializing primarily on fresh Sushi (one of my favorite foods) Goshi’s has been a go to spot for my family and I since it opened.
As a kid, the only time we ever got sushi was down in SLO (at Goshi’s other location) and it was always a special treat, as it didn’t happen often. When Goshi opened a restaurant in Paso we were ecstatic, as Paso never had a legitimate sushi restaurant and we love sushi! I still remember the first time I went to Goshi in Paso with my parents, I think I was home on a break from college or traveling and they told me we were going out for sushi in Paso and I thought they were kidding!
Last week my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of going out to dinner at Goshi to enjoy some delicious sushi and thank them for carrying Castoro wine. Currently they are carrying our Blind Faith Pinot Noir (one of my favorites) and a great choice to pair with their foods. Being a Pinot Noir, the wine is lighter in body but it has a nice acidity that goes very well with food. The combination of the spicy tuna with the wine was definitely a hit inside my mouth.
Through our meal we enjoyed a variety of dishes including seaweed salad, vegetable tempura, miso soup and some delicious rolls (rainbow roll, spicy tuna and Goshi special). All of the food was very good and the staff was very helpful with questions and suggestions, which goes a long way in my book!
So next time you’re craving sushi in the North County, give Goshi a try and order a glass of Pinot Noir while you’re at it! I promise you won’t be disappointed! For more info on Goshi visit their website HERE.
