sushi?

**Nina** · 10-13-2007, 17:14

Who of you is able to prepare sushi by him or herself? Do you sometimes do it, or do you think it`s worth to buy them from someone who knows his profession? Or don`t you like sushi at all?

**TonyU** · 10-13-2007, 17:14

Don't like it.

**Nadine** · 10-13-2007, 17:19

I never tried to make it by my own...I like it but its often very expensive...

**Nina** · 10-13-2007, 17:29

I think that a lot of people like sushi, because it`s some kind of trendy, at least here... Never understood why people spend a lot of money to eat a few of those pieces...Ok, after all I like them by myself, at least I like the pure taste of fish and meat or probably just the feeling of pure taste.

I've have had sushi a few times. It is really good if prepared and consumed properly.

Go to restaurant that serves sushi. Order saki. Drink saki.

Order sushi. Order saki.

Drink saki. Eat sushi.

Order saki.

Drink saki.

Order sushi and saki.

Drink saki.

...

Peace

Either sushi pure or sake pure. Do you know the sake with those gold filaments inside? I don`t like sake, but from time to time I need to drink it, because I train a japanese MA.

**Nina** · 10-13-2007, 18:07

So what kind of sushi do you get served in the USA?

**Musubi Dojo** · 10-13-2007, 22:13

Love Sushi!!
Tuna, salmon, avocado, spicy tuna rolls, California rolls.. All kinds of maki and I love the salmon that's just draped over a rice ball. Can't remember the name...

**Sorros** · 10-13-2007, 22:22

Love the stuff, eat it about once a week. There are a about six sushi places in two square miles of my house.

I'm off rice so we buy sushi grade fish and I cut it up for sashimi. I make a killer miso soup, too.

We tend to stick to tuna, salmon and octopus...

It's pretty good and relatively cheap. I am not sure the ones that I eat from can be classed as real traditional sushi but it's good all the same.

Two rolls is good for a meal. I tend to actually have as a -gosh- fast food becuase it's mostly all premade and refridgerated so it takes less than a minute to get my food so it's handy when I'm in a rush. Cheaper and faster than McDonalds, and much much healthier.

If you want to make it yourself it's pretty easy too. You can generally find the sushi roll kits sold in supermarkets. You just have to buy the fillings separately and there are lots of ideas for those hanging around on the internet. I've tried it a few times, but I find that rolling up the rolls tight enough is an art form unto itself. The first time I tried I also discovered that it is NOT fun to play with wasabi.

Fightgrrl makes sushi.

I love the stuff.

**Erik** · 10-14-2007, 12:29

Not only do we have such an awesome Olympic-level judo club within 5 miles but just 3 miles away is a Japanese grocery store that sells sashimi-grade raw fish, octopus, eel, and other treats.

You bet I make sushi!

**David Anderson** · 10-14-2007, 16:07

There are lots of good sushi places around here, but as I try to limit my carb intake, I don't eat it very much. Sashimi is okay, but I don't find it exciting enough to seek it out to eat on its own.

If I ate it more, I'd probably take a sushi prep course...there's a great little hole-in-the-wall place that gives courses about two blocks from my house...

**Dennis Monk** · 10-14-2007, 16:35

I have never been able to bring myself to eat it. I don't do seaweed and I don't do anything raw.

**David Craik** · 10-14-2007, 19:08

I enjoy some of it, though I find it nothing to write home about, even when I was in Japan. It's popular because it's trendy.

BTW, it's sake...sah-kay. "Saki" denotes a pronunciation of "sah-kee", which is "salmon". Nobody drinks salmon, unless they're from Hokkaido.

**Jeff C.** · 10-14-2007, 20:15

I have had sushi here and in Japan - much more here though. My sushi experience in Japan was not so pleasant - it tasted awful.

I like it, but as an appetizer. One of the things I like about Japanese restaurants in the US is they feed you a helluva lot more for a generally cheaper price than what you will get in Japan. But my opinion is based on only eating in Japanese restaurants (in Japan) maybe 20 times or so.
