Sushi

[Epinephrine]

Conveyor belt sushi is actually the cheapest sushi you can get in Japan. I had a huge meal of about 16 pieces which cost me like $9 and the sushi was on par with the best quality you could get in Toronto (although not quite cut as expertly as Hiro of course).

I want to go to one of those sushi restaurants with the conveyor belts and you just pick up a plate of sushi and you pay-per-plate.

It looks fun, but I will probably go broke.

Sushi for breakfast? Seriously?

Yeah, that's the best time. The fish is sold starting 5am at the Tsukiji fish market. If you eat it in the morning that's when it is at it's absolute freshest. The best damn fish you can get anywhere in the world, and I got all that for $40 USD.

It's Japan, what the fuck else are you going to eat?

Sorry Seal, can't help you there. I live exactly halfway between LA and San Francisco, and as such have not had a lot of opportunity to check out the sushi there.

Eventhough it's still a bit far away (but by that time this thread will be dead, and now i can safe it in my calendar) im going to san francisco in september for work. im adding a few days of los angelos before the week, and a few days vegas after that week.

my jersey girl tells me the west coast has supurb sushi.

can anyone recommend a good sushi place in one of those places? (not a 500 dollar per person restaurant please, but it doesn't have to be super cheap).

thanks in advantage!

That salmon looks damn fresh.

Just got back from 2 weeks in Japan. Here's the breakfast I had at a sushi restaurant just outside the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo:



Also had some salmon (97 yen/piece! [aka 97 cents USD/CDN]):



And of course my personal favorite, Ikura (even though the ootoro in the first pic was godly good):

Tuna, red snapper, yellow tail, shrimp and salmon are all great. Not a fan of the California roll, but I love a good Dynamite Roll.

I don't like to use wasabi or mayo, but a little soy sauce goes a long way.

I tend to find sushi bland and overpriced, so I like to go for non-sushi asian restaurants. Good vietnamese or thai food at least has flavor to it ^_^

White tuna, yellowtail and saba.

There's a place here that has a rotating schedule of specialty rolls that are pretty tops. One of them is kobe beef with asparagus--it's pretty fucking baller.

My absolute favorite is white tuna nigiri or albacore nigiri. It just melts in your mouth.

Also high up on the list are any rolls with a combonation of tuna, salmon, white tuna, yellowtail, and avocado.

Never was a big fan of roe, especially the big eggs (not sure if they're still called roe or if it's from a diff. fish). Don't really like cream cheese in rolls either. Crab and shrimp find their way into too many rolls as well.
