Jonathan Kauffman now counts himself among the groupies of master sushi chef Sachio Kojima, who disappeared out of S.F. in 2005 and only recently returned to take the helm at Hecho (185 Sutter) — the one-year-old sushi-and-tequila bar from restaurateur Joseph Manzare. What he finds on a couple of visits to Hecho is “exquisite” nigiri, with thick slices of fish that alone makes for “a good, solid meal.” But as for the whole tequila-and-sushi combo that Manzare is so passionate about, Kauffman doesn’t really get it, and he says a lot of the other food items on the menu are “clumsy at best.” [SF Weekly]
