I eat sushi once a week on average - I love it. Even our local grocery store offers it, made fresh on the premises every day.
Although I'll admit, I also eat it accompanied by sake sometimes
In my cup - coffee - I need the fast, high-octane stuff this morning because I'm about to go on a 3-day trip. About to visit a friend who lives on a small island that's just off a bigger island.
You ain't lying! We had preschool graduation last night & a reception following. It's been a busy week at my house so I went to bed early last night.augie wrote: So, Thursday was a very LONG day for a few of us.
Not a big sushi fan but I don't like fish even if it's cooked (maybe why I don't like fishy tasting green teas? Hmmm). The vegetarian sushi is good, though.
In the cup this morning was another from the TeaPass box. It was Dark Oolong 2nd Grade from TenRen. I'll have to try a second steep but the first cup was disappointing. Will lower the water temp & see if that helps improve the flavor.

Heck, when I was a kid (Yes, long ago) the last 2 days of school were spent goofing off. My middle schoolers had tests! I did agree -- unfair!henley wrote:You ain't lying!

I love sushi, but I don't get a chance to eat it as much as I would like. There is a place by my college called the Mongolian Buffet that has an all you can eat sushi bar in the back corner of the buffet part. They also have a great dark roasted Chinese Oolong tea. I love going there. Hopefully, I will be able to hit up a sushi restaurant in town this summer that a few of my friends back home discovered.
This morning, I finished up my bag of Sakura Sencha. For the past three or so pots of tea, I finally figured out how to brew it correctly and it tastes awesome. I will miss it, but there is always next spring to get more.

I love sushi. It goes great with green tea, as does all Japanese food.
That being said, I prefer the green tea to be genmaicha or a later flush sencha. I'm not one to drink fine tea with food. I like drinking fine tea all by itself.
This morning, a shincha from the Yame region of Japan. Wonderful tea.

Shincha and sushi...perfect together. But yeah, Bamboo, genmaicha is the way to go in most sushi restuarants anyway since they rarely have great tea anyway.
I love sushi, would prefer to "roll my own" when I can...and I have all the ingredients. I only get a raw fish sushi from a MOST reputable restuarant. I got a touch of food poisoning once...and I was fairly carefull too.
My fav sushi experience was Morimota's In Philly. He was on the original Iron Chef and I think he is on the new (not as good) version. But around 10 courses, one after another. It was like I was one of the judges on Iron Chef. The tea was a total disappointment though...this place is all about high priiced drinks.
Today so far...Fukamushi Supreme from O-Cha and TKY from adagio.

I'm completely jealous! I've always wanted to go to his restaurant. I loved that show, used to watch it religiously, and am totally disappointed in the American version.

Yeah, the original was so amazing to watch...and a lot of Japanese being spoken. It transported me to Japan each time. It was almost magical yet real classy.

The American version...it is adaquate, but it is mostly the same 3-4 Food Channel chefs, now in Kitchen Stadium. It was stale after a few episodes. All it needs is Emeril shouting "BAM!" to complete the picture.

Pretty odd since it's flavored and not an oolong.Victoria wrote:
What are the odds, I'd be having one of your favorites this morning?
Adagios Black Cream.
Having another fabulous black tea this afternoon. Red Peach- also known as Hong Tao Mao Feng. Mild, smoky, with no bitterness and takes a pinch of sweetener really well. So far, my last two new teas to try out have been amazing. I wonder how long this will last?
