This girl we like. She is intelligent, beautiful, married to a hero… And she eats sushi. Whats not to like? 
Michelle Obama went for a three-hour sushi dinner at Sei in Penn Quarter in Washington DC last week. The US first lady (wearing black top and pants according to The Washington Post) showed up with Social Secretary Desirée Rogers and new White House decorator Michael Smith. She had sake-cured cod, orange miso bread pudding, chocolate cake and green-tea creme brulee. The group also got cheers from the crowd when they left.

Written by: Lise V., OsloThis was a huge surprise for me, living in suburbia. I have a natural fear for exotic food sold outside of ring 3, so I haven’t dared trying this place.
Today i caved in, and called to order a big bento box. First surprise; I had to wait 35 minutes to pick it up. First sign of quality. When I opened the bento box, I found delicate sushi with lots of ginger. The nigri was good size, the maki a little bit big for my taste.

So is a nice little restaurant tucked away in one of the side street off busy Piccadilly Circus.
The staff is very friendly and the interior is warm and simple – the restaurant has a very comfortable atmosphere.
About two weeks ago, Eugene Ciurana - the expert behind one of the most popular sushi websites online “Sushi eating HOWTO” - came to Norway for a conference. This is the third time we have tried to meet up (I am a very busy person…) and we finally made it! According to his website Eugene became fascinated with sushi after his first dining experience in 1988, when he was around 21. He’s developed a taste for all things sushi since then, and goes out of his way to sample new dishes wherever he can find them. He then tries to enrich his HOWTO with those experiences.
It was so nice to finally get together, and I got to meet a lot of his geeky developer friends too. We of course went to have sushi, and I got to taste the very politically incorrect whale sushi for the first time especially ordered by Eugene at Alex Sushi.
You really should check out his “Sushi eating HOWTO”. It is the most comprehensive sushi guide online and has great photos too (and is the longest web page ever…? :))
Eugene, until next year…

Some think this is a heresy to the Japanese tradition, but the truth is that it is a huge success and there have been several television channels making documentaries on its origin (Tokyo TV, Asahi TV…). Others have also tried to reproduce it.
Sushi inspires in the weirdest ways - now also in hairdressing! Angelo Seminara, the British Hairdresser of the Year in 2008, saw sushi and thought “I want to create that…in hair”.

Guest Review: Adil Osmani
Review text: En excellent restaurant which came highly recommended at our hotel, blew us away with regards to the overall experince. This consisting of excellent and friendly service, delicate presentation and fantastic domestic wine.
The sushi it self was a marvel of craftsmanship where several parts where put togheter in a way I’ve never seen before in Norway. Even tough Alex Sushi in Norway is fantastic, there is just something about Beluga that was even better.
Podcast from Trevor Corson on how eating sushi in the US is changing:
“A QUIET REVIVAL of authentic Japanese sushi is under way in the U.S., and it contains the seeds of a revolution that could make eating sushi both more enjoyable and more ecologically sustainable. But this trend is easy to miss, because the new face of sushi isn’t always Japanese, or even Asian. ”
