RE: WHO HERE LIKES SUSHI?
Hey Psycho, If you ever come up to Sac, we have to go to Mikunis. Its is freakin awesome! I love sushi. But if youve never had it, youve got to start at a good place, and with some one whos had it before helps. I mean the stuff you buy pre-made at the grocer is ok, but you have to have real sushi before trying that stuff. if its less than $8-10 per plate, its not going to be a good place to start( and youll probably eat more than one plate). last time we went, it was about $140 for 5 people. but I almost couldnt walk out of the restaurant. Its so easy to over-eat. and that Edemame is hella good too, once you start eating them. mmm, I hella want sushi now.

Caleb, you must get much better sushi in California than I do here... not like it's bad here, but I hear the fish is much much more fresh out there.
mmm it sounds so much better than the crappy chicken fingers I had for dinner.

I could eat sushi every damn day.
I was never really put off by the idea of sushi being raw fish, particularly. But once, in Tokyo, I saw a sushi chef take live prawns out of a tank, behead and clean them, and serve them on rice so fresh that the prawns primitive nerve impulses were still making its little tail move! The Japanese fellow next to me, obviously quite used to this, gobbled it right up! It flashed through my mind that I'd feel like a pu**y if I didn't immediately order that same dish. I mean, how could I forgive myself if I didn't try the so-fresh-it's-still-f'ing-moving prawn sushi while I'm in the land of sushi? Then I looked at the prawns in the tank and at the one remaining writhing sushi-prawn and wimped out and stuck to the non-moving sushi. Maybe next time.
If you can get them done right, try some udon noodles. It's a big bowl of thick, fresh rice noodles in a miso/mirin/fish broth with (often) some tempura (battered and fried veggies and fish) on the side or even in the soup.
