My personal favorite is Koto Buki - on Monroe St...good sushi bar and great service...
Eileen's Wine Bar, in the Navy Bistro entrance at the Docks, used to have sushi available...that was always a treat...but I haven't been there since the winter.

YUK!!! Think I'll go to the High Level Cafe or the Green Lantern and have a cheeseburger.

lmao foolkiller, it took me a while to try it but once I did (and learned the hard way that a little wasabi goes a long way) some of it is pretty tasty.

What about Fujiyama on Reynolds or Yoko on Dussel?

Yes, KotoBuki rules.

Sorry, Psyche, but I do NOT eat raw fish, pork, beef, poultry, etc. No way in hell. What is wasabi? Probably some sauce that kills the taste of the raw food, right? Sort of defeats the purpose, but then, I can't see any in the first place.

Having fished for years as a kid, and cleaned my own fish, I have seen first hand the worms and other parasites that exist inside a fish. The eggs or reproductive segments the parasites leave can't be seen without the aid of a microscope, but they are there. Enjoy your sushi, I will take mine deep fried thanks.

Kotobuki is excellent. Last night I picked up a menu from Taruman, a take-out place on Central at King (next to the new Schlotsky's). It looks good but I haven't tried it yet.
Btw, Cold Stone Creamery now has wasabi flavored ice cream. I sampled it - it is disgusting.

wasabi, foolkiller is a green almost mustard like condiment that is very very very hot. I piled on the wasabi my first time rather than using the small amount to acentuate the flavor.
It was hotter than a habenero pepper.

I can't imagine a wasabi flavored ice cream - that is just not right...

Wasabi is a Japanese horseradish-type condiment. It's hot, but not a lasting hot like peppers.
And not all sushi is raw...my favorites are actually the cooked ones: eel and avocado, tempura shrimp, soft-shell crab. But the best is Alaska roll Yum Yum style at Kotobuki - it's a salmon roll dipped in the tempura batter and then deep fried...it's called yum yum for a reason!

Intrepid, I appreciate the education on sushi. As long as it is cooked I will give it a try. This is one of the reasons I like ToledoTalk so much. It broadens the horizons and enlightens the ignorant. I have had wasabi mashed potatoes and they are fantastic - Old Navy Bistro.

Thanks intrepid, all I could think of last night was a mustard like condiment to describe it, horseradish is a more accurate classification.
I agree wasabi mashed potatos are good, I've had them someplace else here in Toledo, can't remember where but I don't go to Old Navy Bistro...also had them in California.

You're welcome!
Wasabi mashed potatoes - YUM
Wasabi coated fried peas - YUM
Wasabi ice cream - YUCK!

On that we also agree on.

Part 6 of the series came out today. I tell ya, if you need a 6-part series on how to eat something, that's probably a good sign to eat something else.
posted by jr at 04:36 P.M. EST on Sat Aug 06, 2005 #
Actually, jr, if you've read the series, you'll see that there's a lot of symbolism, tradition and etiquette in eating sushi. It's an experience - not a meal!

> sushi
How to eat it properly? Take chopstick, select an item, place into trash.
Sushi sounds like an invitation to parasites.

Isn't that the slogan for Hooters? You don't need a manual to eat there.

Wouldn't know, jr, never been to Hooters...

Despite the name, the series has almost nothing to do with "how to eat". It is really about the history of sushi.

Part 7 is out.
"People in Japan talk about rice the way that Californians talk about wine."
I wonder if there will be a Sideways-like movie about sushi someday?
