Oh Nabu, I haven't had sushi in awhile. This makes me so hungry for good sushi.
Of course, the best sushi is in Japan! (smiling) I miss Japanese sushi place, and the way you serve beer in Japan, too. I tried to incorporate this in my social settings, but people don't seem to understand beauty of it here, serving, being served.
