A good introduction into the Japanese names for different types of sushi. And a glimpse of how cool equipment they have in Japanese sushi kaiten sushi bars.
This is something within the sushi tradition that I am actually against. Ikezukuri (生き作り/活け造り) is live fish being caught, sliced and served - without being killed. So - you end up with this gaping fish on your table looking at you… It is not for me.
I have done it twice, but accidentally through ordering omakase and forgetting to let them know not to serve us that. I feel you should make sure that the fish IS completely dead before it is served. It needn’t be THAT fresh… I think it is just for the spectacle.

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.

A video that shows you how to cut a sushi roll. It also goes a little into how to plate it, and you can see that this chef has done it before…
