We were not going to this place had it not been for that Soho was closed that day. Ahh, what luck! It caused us to find a gem!! The restaurant opened last year, but moved to also use downstairs around April of 2007. We were pretty alone in there for our Sunday lunch, but if they keep up their good work, I am sure this place will be packed. It was a real treat!
We all love tempura maki - and these guys had several of them. They had a separate sushi menu with special maki, deep fried maki and regular nigiri sushi, sashimi and maki.
I don’t think they really know each other, but they were seen in the same restaurant at the same time - so therefor they get to be celebrity couple together here on Sushi or Death. American rap artist Kanye West and Jack Bauer himself, Mr. Kiefer Sutherland were both dining at Benihana near the Beverly Center.

Going into a sushi bar to have sushi for the first time might be scary. But you should aslo think that it is about having fun and that it is an experience you will treasure. This is how I go about it, and even being so much into it like I am, I feel like I am learning something new about it all the time!
I was asked to put up a post on how you actually behaved in a sushi bar. I am not an expert, so I needed some help in this. I found some websites that I found good, in addition to looking up some of my Japanese books on the subject.
Nama is a very nice sushi place located close to the old part of the harbor front of Bergen. Their restaurant is modern and clean, and it seems to be quite popular. The sound level in the restaurant was a bit loud though and it was hard to hear each other talk when the place got full.
But we were there to eat, not to talk. Right? 
We ordered lots of different things off their menu. Mostly maki, but also some nigiri sushi.

Sumo has a great location in Bergen city center. It looks great both from the outside and gives a real authentic, japanese feel inside - and it was fun to be able to sit “in the floor” on pillows similar to what you do in Japan. I was really positively surprised by the look and feel of this place.
The menu too was quite extensive, so I was all smiles there for a while. But then came the food. It was not that it was that bad. It was ok, but I had just built up such really high expectations…

This website has really good content and some great Flash animations onto how to do a lot of typical sushi stuff. I found this website quite instructive and entertaining, and they have a great sense of humor.
The website you are now surfing was founded by a sushi fan known by the name of Oso-wakki. Up until today we have yet to get a clear answer as to why. Anyway, the purpose of this website is to give a shelter and a stage for those who wish to explore and improve the taste of a good sushi roll.
As a cultural leader in its territory, we will attempt to bring you the best of the world-wide sushi culture in the form of recommendations for sushi restaurants, sushi festivals, and pictures of celebrities enjoying their sushi in partial nudity.
You should take a look!

Eating using chopsticks is common in some parts of the sushi experience. Or more correctly - the sashimi experience. Many people say that using chopsticks eating nigiri sushi actually is wrong and that you should use your hands. If you still choose to use chopsticks, the sushi chef will pick up on this and have to press your nigiri sushi rice harder than he would have if you were using your hands as you are supposed to. The nigiri sushi is supposed to just dissolve and melt in your mouth almost without having to chew it… mmmmm.

This small sushi place has a very central location, just off of Karl Johans gate - the main street of Oslo. I used to go to it years ago when it was called Tampopo but I had not been back after it became Oishi Sushi. The fact that is resides in Skippergata might scare some customers away though.
