I Love 裏巻き and 裏巻き Loves Me
It's all about 寿司, baby, it's all about 寿司.
I had Chinese food again Thursday night with cousin Jeff, at the Chinese buffet. My favorite Chinese buffet with the Japanese sushi bar. The all you can eat sushi bar. I didn’t have much Chinese food. Mostly sushi. I actually had 3 plates that night, 3 trips up to the buffet. The first plate was sushi. The second plate consisted of fish, grilled shrimp in butter sauce, and fried shrimp. Oh, and 2 shrimp cakes. Yum.
I had Chinese food again Friday night with cousin Jeff, at the Chinese buffet. My favorite Chinese buffet with the Japanese sushi bar. The all you can eat sushi bar. The first trip, the first plate, consisted of grilled fish in oil, fried fish with tarter sauce, grilled shrimp in butter sauce, and fried shrimp. The second plate consisted of sushi and only sushi. The third plate was sushi and only sushi. Yum yum.
I had Chinese food again Saturday night with cousin Jeff, at the Chinese buffet. My favorite Chinese buffet with the Japanese sushi bar. The all you can eat sushi bar. Had a lot of sushi, and some egg foo yung. Yum yum yummers.
I had Chinese food again Sunday night, at the Chinese buffet. My favorite Chinese buffet with the Japanese sushi bar. The all you can eat sushi bar. Without Jeff. A lot of sushi. Then egg fu yung. Some shrimp. More sushi. Yum yumminy
I had Chinese food again Tuesday afternoon, at the Chinese buffet, for lunch. My favorite Chinese buffet with the Japanese sushi bar. The all you can eat sushi bar. Without Jeff. He was working 9-5, and I was working 1-10. Sushi, sushi, and more sushi. And a shrimp cake. Yumoniously yummy.
By dinner time Tuesday I was craving sushi again. Seriously craving sushi again. Normal guys surf the web for porn. I did a Google search for images and began surfing for sushi images. To my chagrin I was on the phone trying to make sales. And as the clock ticked toward 8pm and I had yet to make a sale for the day, I regretted that they closed at 10pm and ceased making more sushi at 9pm. Should I give up on the phone calls and rush to the sushi bar? Would I make it there in time to be able to get my fill and enjoy my meal? Would I? Could I? Should I?
I kept making calls. I was determined to get a sale. Last week I was averaging at least 3 sales a day and sometimes 4, but I only got one on Monday and Tuesday I was getting none. I had to close a deal. At least one deal. I couldn’t have sushi until I closed at least one deal. But I was craving sushi. I was making calls, and as the phone rang, waiting for people to pick up, I was surfing sushi sites for the names of all the different types and flavors of sushi. I know what kinds I like…love…the most, by sight at the sushi bar, but I didn’t know what they were named. I remember some of them, but not all of them. I came across many sites with info on different forms and flavors of sushi, but I didn’t seem to be finding my most favorite kinds which I usually always ate the most of at the Chinese buffet/Japanese sushi bar. This leads me to wonder if those chefs there have created their own unique flavoration-variations for their sushi bar, not found anywhere else. This leads me to love that place even more.
9 o’clock crept past. It was too late to go for sushi. I finally gave up on the sales calls with no deals closed for the day. I was disappointed. I was frustrated. And I was sushi-deprived. Jeff came home around 10 and we went to Miami Subs for late dinner. I used to lose their Philly-cheese steak subs. On this night it seemed to have little flavor to it. I certainly did not enjoy it.
God, I want more sushi. This has become more than an interest. This has become an addiction. No, it’s more than an addiction. It’s an obsession.
I think I make consider changing my name to an Oriental moniker. Then I will be able to say:
Ima Nokonama Nooshi
I lika lika sushi
Though I got no tooshie,
I got gut lika Jim Belushi
Could there be a form of sushi I don’t like? Doubtful. However I rarely eat temakizushi due to its size and unwieldiness. I prefer what I can fit in my mouth in one shot, even though the types I eat require opening wide to get it in on one attempt. I like nigirizushi (especially eel, love the eel, and another with a dark yellow something which I think may be fried egg mixed with tofu, though I’m not sure. EDIT: it’s called tamago.), and I like makizushi (rolls of rice and seafood inside skins of nori seaweed) and love futomaki rolls, but more than anything I love uramaki, the inside-out rolls (fish inside rolls of nori, with the rice on the outside). I love salmon skin. I love California rolls, especially sprinkled with tobiko (fish eggs, aka caviar). I especially love Honeymoon rolls, and inari pouches (rise inside fried tofu).
There is another variety which I nearly salivate over just thinking about. I do not recall the name from the label on the bar, and it is one which I have not found in any of the sushi related sites I browsed, leading me to presume it may be a unique form created by that particular restaurant. It is similar to a futomaki but without as much rice inside, made up of a thick, slightly crunchy outer skin layered and dripping with soy sauce teriyaki, surrounding an interior containing vegetables and cream cheese. It is actually this specific one which I crave the most every time I go there, and which I am thinking about even now, licking my lips with fond memories.
EDIT: It is called a makachi roll, but I cannot find any photos of it online.
And there is something new which I tried only recently, which was apparently new on their menu because I had never seen it before. It was like a norimaki but surrounded by a thicker skin of some sort of tofu-like material, like the inari but yet different. The skin alone is one of the most, if not the most, delicious item on the entire sushi menu. I have to ask them next time what in the world it is. The first time I had it, last week one night, the interior content was spinach. Jeff asked me, “People are getting sick from e-coli-tainted spinach, and you’re eating it anyway?” I told him, “Who cares? This tastes awesome! It’s worth the risk, man.” It’s to die for.
Ahhhh…memories of yummeries. Mmmmmmm.
Though the contents are different, this golden skin seems to be the tofu-like skin I just described, so I wonder if this is a variation of the sushi item that is so delicious.
I have a funny feeling I'm going back again for lunch today. It's quite amazing, actually. The first time I tried sushi I hated it. I thought it was overrated and unappetizing. I had heard of its popularity so I tried it in a Japanese restaurant without knowing what it really was, or what to expect. Then I got raw fish and rice. I went out afterwards and got a cheeseburger to fill me up. That was several years ago. And now I can't get enough of sushi. Go figure.
