I had sushi for dinner today. It was good. There's a sushi restaurant like around the corner from my place, and that place is bomb! It's close. It's cheap. And they've got big portions. "Sushi? Big portions?" you may be asking yourself. To which I reply, "Yes indeedy!" It's not like you can supersize the rice in the sushi. BUT... the topping (neta) is huge at this place (note: most of the sushi in Japan are the ones with the rice on the bottom and the fish on top... not the rolls).

Example: If you pick up an unagi plate. You get two pieces of unagi sushi. Pretty normal. The rice on the bottom... regular size. BUT, whereas most sushi restaurants have the pieces of unagi sitting on top of the rice, this place has it on top of the rice and curling under it. Basically, it's twice the size. My favorite... the King Salmon sushi plate that has pieces of raw King Salmon resting on top of the rice, with about 3/4 inch of excess flapping on the sides. Can't get that out in Tokyo! Gotta come out to the country to get some of that good finga lickin' food.
