Would I ask for ketchup for my escargot? Is it OK to put tarter sauce over a traditional Italian pizza? No, of course not. So why do we think it is OK to rewrite history and insult the precise and delicious sushi culture, flavors derived over many hundreds of years?

What you do in your home is your business, but it is rude to go into a restaurant, order a handmade meal, and then eat it in such a way. It is insulting.

I never asked what you thought of my Japanese manners, only if anyone else ate odd things with sushi.

Anyways, I'm going to disregard any other drama if any on the thread unless somebody really wants me to reply. I'll just present the sauce in question:

But it can also be the result of chronic allergies, or the drugs used to treat them. Of course its common with aging, repeated overstimulation, or injury too.

With the excessive pepper and sake, how can you even taste the fish to know whether it is any good? The flavor of most high quality fish would be seriously overpowered by this habit.
Ok let me reply to this. The thing is, I am indeed a capsaicin addict. I know this. My sense of taste is fine, though. The heat itself isn't a flavor anyways, it's just nerve stimulation. Like I said, I still love plain sushi as I always did. But lately I've been going out to sushi so much that I have to get the hotness somewhere. And it's just a phase I'll soon leave behind. Thai is definitely the way to go for hot Asian food. But about the sake, it actually does cleanse the pallet between different kinds of sushi on a variety plate or sushi bar. This is what I've been used to doing since I drank sake, which I only do at sushi places.

You know...
This is kinda rediculous. I caught myself doing this and laughed.

We're having a heated debate...

About sushi! lol!!

That's funny! I mean, really I understand where you're coming from, and I think we're from two different parts of the world, but the place I go to...they don't mind it! So, to each his own I guess, but I just thought it was really funny that we're having a debate about sushi...lol

His food is delicious, you haven't tried it. Is it sushi? Not all of it, no. But like I said, he also has traditional sushi.



I live in Alaska -- we're renown for our King Crab and our superb fish quality.


And use spellcheck once in a while.
meh, suppose i am quite pretentious >.>
i'm not saying that it isn't good...
but from my personal experiences.... the menu just seems bland.
it's not like none of that hasn't really been done before.
the only thing that would impress me is if his rice is good, and if the rest of his ingredients are top quality. and none of that can be known through a menu

and like that other guy said.... kinda worried if the bacon and everything overpowers the crab... >.>''
seafood in general have a very delicate taste, and is very easily over powered.

buut bleh =P

and.... you try typing w/ just 9 fingers =.='''
and reading on a 49" screen... >.<''
at 4 in the morning.... =.=
it's not exactly easy to be precise about my spelling, lolz
typos happen =P

oh and... alaska is fucking beautiful
although, i, as a tourist, only visited juno, ketchikan and skagway >.>''
i loved what i saw.
also had some seriously awesome sock-eye salmon at a sushi-ya ^_^
rice was a meh~ but the salmon rocked =P



In the shadows beneath the trees he waits.
In the darkness under the moon he plots
In the silence of the night he kills.
