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”

Wow. I just realized (from looking at my Google Analytics) that Sushi or Death are turning 1 year today! Wohoo! There are lots of reasons to celebrate - this is the 400th post, we just passed over 50 000 unique visitors, we’ve been mentioned on lots of blogs, linked to from the coolest sites, referred to in printed media and linked to from The Wall Street Journal, gotten to know lots of sushi fanatics from all over the world and eaten lots of really good (and some not so good) sushi! Lots of things I did not believe would be possible when I started up. It has been a great year!

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!

Definitely the best Sushi place in Brooklyn. I always have a great experience at Bozu and if you’re wondering if you should try it I would say YES!
Try the cold sakes, there are so many to try and they are all amazing. I had such a good experience at Bozu from beginning to end that I find it surprising that anyone could find any fault. I would pay twice as much for the quality of service and meal.
Also, get the party bomb platter! You’ll love it.

Love sushi? Want to show it off? These plastic sushi platter charm measuring 40×15mm hanging from an 18 inch silver ball chain. I actually think they look a bit cheap, but the ones (we) who are really into sushi collect the weirdest stuff…
This wonderful sushi t-shirt, depicting fighting sumo wrestlers fighting over the last maki piece. It is so popular that it is sold out in all sizes for men, but there are still some left for us girls. Yeah! I want one!
Another “Thai restaurant really, but now also sushi bar” kind of place. After a long wait on a not too busy evening, we finally got the waiters attention. The sushi bar part of the restaurant does not seem to get the main attention of the place. The fish was looking kind of lonely there in the sushi case.
We ordered a set menu between us - the sushi combo, which had both nigiri, sashimi and maki. In addition we had the softshell crab. And a sushi pizza. Just because it sounded so weird.

It’s hard to find really good Japanese food in San Diego. Check that. I should say it’s hard to find good sashimi in San Diego. I was introduced to Edo Sushi when a couple of my friends got jobs there as waitresses. Edo Sushi is located in a pretty obscure area in the affluent La Jolla, CA area. It’s in the same plaza as the Rubio’s in the Renaissance community close to the UTC mall.
I knew about this place a few years ago and the sashimi there has always been some of the freshest available. I don’t go there often because sitting at the sushi bar can run up quite the bill. I only go there for special occasions nowadays. As luck would have it, I wanted to take out a good friend and I decided to treat her to some good sushi. As always, I opted to sit at the bar. I have never ordered any of the menu items (teriyaki, bentos, tempura, etc.), so this writeup is ONLY good for the sushi bar.
