June 18th are the International Sushi Day according to a Facebook group, so then we just have to believe that.
“Every day should be Sushi Day, but like anything that is this amazing, it deserves a day unto itself. Minimum requirement for the 1st Annual International Sushi Day: Eat Sushi. ”
I am embarrassed to say that I totally forgot it, so I have not had sushi today, but that only means that one of you US people need to have a bite for me.
So, roll with it!
Happy Sushi Day!

Indian Students Break the Guinness Book of World Records for the “Largest Sushi Mosaic”.
Matthew Lankford is taking his sushi seriously and has done the rest of us a favor by trying out and documenting his 30 days of sushi at 21 different locations in Seattle. Click on the pictures to get the description of that days feast. It all looks really delicious! (I wish I had this many choices of (proper) sushi bars to go to!)
Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.
Here are the 21 places that he went to:

Every website with some “self respect” have their own fan page on Facebook… Really. Preferably made by fans. Or at least someone from your staff. Well - I don’t have many fans, and no particular staff to talk of - so I had to make the fan page myself. 
So - now we have one! [insert Juhuu sound effect!]
Now YOU have a chance to prove me wrong - that SOD has fans. Check out our little facebook home and become a fan today!
Trevor Corson is a fan already. And Eugene Ciurana! [insert Juhuu sound effect again!]
That should be enough name dropping.
Come, come.
New acronym - WYEMNBWYTYE - What you eat might not be what you think you eat….
“This is Jackie Chan at Shanghai G Sushi about to devour the World’s Largest Sushi Roll!” That is the only information I can find about the picture.

Sushi on a stick!?? Sort of popsickle sushi? Now, I did NOT expect that… This “amazing” product was announced on April 1st, so I did think it was a joke at first. But it doesn’t seem to be the case… Here is from their sales pitch;
“Delicious sushi is too good to be tied to a table and chopsticks. We’ve created a convenient way to enjoy sushi on the go. Sushi Popper is ready-to-eat sushi in a package that you will soon find in refrigerators in your local stores. Once you crack open the seal on the package, you can use the attached stick to push up the sushi roll from the bottom and bite off the presliced pieces of sushi from the top.

Time flies! Sushi or Death has got almost 500 posts (do I have a life!?), about 600 comments (you guys need to talk more :)) and is turning 2 years today! I was recently asked what my goal was when starting this website and if it had changed since then, which got me thinking; the web is still so young that it pretty much only have beginnings…

For those who are already on Second Life (and those looking for a reason to be on it), you now have a chance to go and have nyotaimori (naked sushi) at an avant-garde virtual sushi restaurant named Inachi. The platter features an artistic arrangement of finely-priced sushi adorning the nude avatar body of the virtual celebrity Codebastard Redgrave (!??)
One of the bad things about going to a kaiten sushi bar (conveyer belt sushi) is to see some of the plates going round and round… and round and the fish just getting sad and soggy. It must be hard for the sushi chefs to keep track of which pieces to remove from the belt at all times - serving good, fresh fish is key, but economy probably comes into play as well and you want to throw away as little food as possible.

Sustainable sushi is a buzzword these days. Trevor Corson is writing book about it, Casson Trenor has written a book about it and there are now several sushi bars that are only serving sustainable fish. Great!
An Australian advertising agency came up with a very unique way to advertise for the sushi restaurant Sushi Roll in a crowded mall. By taking pictures of sushi and attaching them to the rails of the escalator leading up to the sushi bar, they increased walk-in visitors to the restaurant by 38%! The video shows that it also got the eye and attention of pretty much everyone going up that escalator.

World recession takes its toll also in the “sushi industry”. The previously reported on San Jose’s Suedy’s Koo-Ki Sushi is closing after more than 13 years of delighting foodies with whimsical handmade cookies and chocolates that resembled pieces of real sushi.
