Viral marketing is important, also for sushi bars. Sushi Hiroba is a place in Hollywood, Los Angeles, that made this cute video to promote their place. Maybe not the best acting performances we’ve seen, but the idea is funny. The music is great though.

I have known about these pictures for a while, but I have not gotten myself to post them. It took some getting used to. Now I am ready… I think. Who originally took them, I don’t know (or if they ate the food), but it is definitely a new take on sushi. The original post asks if you would want to try this kind of sushi. I know I wouldn’t. Would you?

We had a post about sushi for Barbie a while back and this is down that same alley. There seems to be a whole bunch of them! This tiny sushi sets, drinks and bowls of ramen come in grab-bag packs of about 10 or 15 items, each for $5. You can also get the sushi bar and the chef itself if you buy a whole set for $50. Cute.

I just so want to know what the artist of this tag/graffiti piece where thinking when they made this. They were hungry probably, or at least became hungry. The photographer tells the story of the photo: “I was in L.A. visiting my grandmother. I saw this truck parked in front of her building, so walking up to the stairs I turned around to see if there was any graffiti on the other side of this truck, and there was! I loved it! The first thought that jumped onto my head was “This is what I call graffiti”. I asked the man if he knew the person who did this and he said “No, I don’t, they just came one night and gave me this free art” I laughed and asked him if he was going to remove it and he said “No, I’m not going remove it”

Now what would the link between sushi and easter be? Skiing fish? Chocolate sushi bunnies? I searched around a bit and found these! Wonderfully painted eggs, decorated with sushi. I liked them. This Flickr user is painting a lot of things onto eggs.
Well. It was what I found. Enjoy.
And happy easter!
Another example of that sushi really can be used as political means. Not sure what they want to accomplish by naming them this way though. This is a sushi menu I found on Flickr where they have both a 9/11 Roll (Shrimp tempura, cucumber and avocado) and Katrina Roll (Deep fried craw fish and avocado). Maybe you support something when having them?

We were wondering if any of the presidential candidates in the US were into sushi. To find a new sushi celebrity for SOD, you know. It turns out they all are very concerned with the matter… Sushi is highly political. Here is a very funny story from the NY Times of January 25, 2008:

Nothing rattled some New Yorkers more than the news that high levels of mercury were found in tuna sushi sold in Manhattan stores and restaurants. Sushi is such a staple here these days that it’s almost as if the entire city has declared war on fish.

I played with Barbie when I was a kid. I did not get the Pony and the House, but I liked her. If my Barbie had her own sushi bar back then in the 70′ I would not even know what to do with it, how to play with it. But todays Barbie is of course modern and healthy in her food habits. And this is what their sushi parties look like (photos copyright: Miche|e):
