I Did Like the Edamame...

First of all, let me just say that all you sushi eating people are nothing short of crazy. CRAZY, I tell you. (And I can say that with authority now because I've actually tasted it instead of just eating veggie tempura in soy sauce.) I didn't even have anything too outlandish either-just a couple of rolls with scallops and salmon. BLARGH! (I do enjoy all the non-fish rolls with just avocado and cucumbers but that doesn't really count.) I absolutely love scallops. But cooked scallops. In a nice cream sauce. (Cold and slimy? Not so much.)

BUT, it was my good friend Russ' birthday and I DO need to try new things so I'm glad i did it. I'm also glad that we went out for ice cream drinks afterwards at At Random, one of the most awesome places in Bay View. And now I can eat all the tempura I want every time we go out for Japanese and Jason can't give me any guff.

Here we are at Izumi's (thanks to Russ for the pictures)

You may notice here in the top left I have a full plate of sushi that I am mysteriously not touching. The same cannot be said for Jason.

    I'm with you on that! I do like the rolls with salmon in them, but nothing else 'scary'. I'm all about the veggie rolls too - they're so good. Good for you for trying something new though! Everyone down here loves the oysters - blech! Stick with the veggie rolls and that tempura sounds good too! Hans is king of the dragon rolls, I tell him I don't eat anything with antenna's sticking out and spiky things. Crazy!

    I'm gonna have to go with Jason on this one.
    Sushi rules. Though an acquired taste. I didn't like it either until I went out to dinner with a friend and she kept having sushi, so each time I tried a piece. Then one day I randomly craved it.

    I'm with you. I'm amazed at how much people can charge for food that isn't even cooked.
