Sushi in space 14Feb10

Soichi Noguchi - courtesy Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency

We always say that sushi is best served fresh. But what if you have the sushi cravings, but are a giant leap away from the nearest sushi bar? If you are stationed at the ISS (International Spaces Station) and you miss your sushi, well invite someone. The Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi has successfully lifted off from Baikonur Space Center on the steppes of Kazakhstan, bringing with him the first sushi in space.

Sushi How-tos Eugene and SODs Karianne went out for… sushi!

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… ;)

  • The Nutella Maki

    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 Hair 19Aug09

    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”.

    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. ”

  • This is really an old news story but I don’t think I have posted it here before - Trevor Corson, author of “The Story of Sushi” and “The Secret Life of Lobsters,” discusses how he narrowly escaped a death by poisonous blowfish and the secrets you never knew about eating sushi.

    Similar to giving red wine or beer to animals before killing them which I have heard of before, the Japanese are now using acupuncture to the dying tuna in an effort to produce the most delicious sushi in the world.

    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!

    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!)

    Sushi or Death on Facebook

    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.

    Sushi Popper 04Apr09

    Sushi Popper

    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.
