glad you guys are excited. the gohan special is something i contrived a long time ago and they've come to perfect it. it is out of this world. i've never been able to really duplicate it anywhere else.

 

Thanks for organizing everything Kram, this is going to be good.

 

Sushi USA - 6/28-6/29

Maguro Natto - Tuna and fermented soy beans.



Hakusai - Homemade pickled Chinese cabbage.



Sawagani - Soft shell river crabs - deep fried served with lemon and salt.



Ohitashi - Cold boiled spinach topped with katsuo boshi and sesame seeds. Sorry, I took a bite before the pic.



Nagoya Teba - Chicken wing braised in a sweet miso glaze.



Nasu - Broiled eggplant served with soy sauce and chili pepper.

 

those little crabs look so good!

 

they make for a nice little snack. the crab taste is actually pretty mild. the body is pretty soft, but the legs and pinchers, especially, are crunchy.

 

I met up with Mark at Sushi USA last night, the food was fantastic. I'll add a couple of pics from my meal when i get a moment.

Thanks once again Mark!

 

josh, sorry to crash you dinner. hope the movie was good.

 

No worries mate, was nice seeing you.

The movie was okay - entertaining shit as my dad would say.

 

yeah, i love snacking on them. they're like delicious potato chips.

 

We have been eating Sawagani ever since Kenji first brought them into the restaurant. In fact, we had 32 of them on Saturday. Next time you are there, check out the pictures on his wall. Most of the pictures are of myself and my fiance and friends. See you this Thursday; I will be coming with Zamirz.
