If you haven’t tried sushi before and you are ready to venture into the world of sushi, this video helps you get started. Angela Chan explains that a California roll makes a perfect starter for a novice as it has all cooked ingredients. Probably the biggest preconception for people who are reluctant to try is that sushi is raw fish and if it’s raw, it must be fishy and smelly. On the contrary, the fresh fish does not smell at all. Before you venture into the hardcore items such as maguro (tuna) or ika (squid), there are many other items that are cooked. Tamago (egg), inari (tofu pouch stuffed with sweet rice), tekka (cucumber roll), and futomaki (egg and goard) are all cooked and contains no fish. Even the salmon and shrimp served at any sushi restaurant are not served raw. The salmon used for sushi is usually slightly smoked and shrimps are cooked.
Hadaka Sushi is not a typical sushi restaurant. The owner added sexual tone to everything the restaurant represents from the name Hadaka, meaning naked in Japanese to servants dressed in lingerie and of course the notorious naked sushi.
Combining two of the basic human needs is clever, but is it sustainable as a business model?
The concept comes across as a bit weird and eccentric to me, but the restaurant appears to be thriving. LA has enough curiosity seekers.
Sushi Samba is presumably the most popular sushi restaurant in the country. Typing “sushi samba” on Google returns whopping 179,000 results, yet it’s locations are limited to New York, Chicago, and Las Vegas.
After visiting its Web site, I see why the restaurant maintains its throne as a most sought after sushi restaurant. It is the entire experience that attracts people. The restaurant entices people by holding a number of social events including sake tasting, Japanese beer tasting and sushi-making class.
The stylish and modern atmosphere with great music creates a perfect ambience for dancing. Sushi Samba’s original music CDs, books and chopsticks are for sale.
The interesting mix of cuisine and culture of Japan, Brazil and Peru makes the restaurant very unique for people who are looking for something different.
The video shows how easy it is to make sushi rolls and serve on a plate.
Do you want to be loved? Of course you do. Everybody wants to feel that someone cares about you. Instead of a receiving end of love, it’s always better to give. Giving makes both you and the others happy. The simple act of giving makes the world a better place and in the end, you will be loved… OK, this is starting to sound corny.
For those of you who don’t want to be philosophical about the L word, there’s a way to buy love, but there is a prerequisite. The person of interest must be a sushi lover. Scarlet Script Sushi and Tea Set is sure to capture her heart. If your significant other is a man, you will score big with Black Chinese Script Sushi and Sake Set.
Be sure to make it an unexpected gift. It’s that element of surprise that gets you loved even more.
The general consensus is that Sushi is generally low in calorie. Although this is true, not all sushi are the same. The video shows what to avoid if you are extremely sensitive on calorie consumption. The rule of thumb is to go easy on anything fried, processed food, or something creamy. A tempura roll is obviously fried, a Philly roll has cream cheese and a creamy scallop tastes a bit rich. The eel is looking awfully good. It’s a natural fat. I would make this an exception
