Food: The Sushi Burger
December 13, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Food trends: The Sushi Burger. We had the Ramen burgers and Korean burritos, now comes the sushi burger. The rice is turned into a bread-like bun, substitute meat patty with any Japanese-style fish and top it off with Asian sauces. Shouldn’t this be called a Sushi Fish Sandwich instead?

June 1, 2016 by 1 Comment
The first time I made any type of sushi, it tasted pretty bad. One of the hardest parts is getting the rice just right and the amount of vinegar. Sushi Chef Toyoung Kwak expresses herself through her pottery food plates and “Gimbap.” She splits time between her ceramic studio and restaurant, she has recently opened with her friend Jeomsook Noh.

Like my fellow Retrenders super blogger Stevie Jang, we like LEGOs, but we usually follow the instructions. Yes, I like having a the manual in-hand and looking at the pictures to see how it’s been built. I’ve seen lots crazy imaginative LEGO builds, but this MOC Ito Sushi Bar LEGO build is insanely neat. Built by Denil Oh, this sushi bar has incredible details and even right down to the sushi pieces with custom stickers to enhance the diorama restaurant build.

Foodie Reading: Oishinbo
January 2, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I’m not a huge manga reader, I grew up with comic books and graphic novels, but a friend of mine told me to check out this cool manga about Japanese food since I was a such a foodie monster. I first read Oishinbo – Ramen and Gyoza volume and was totally hook by not just the art but the reading and explanation of certain Japanese dishes. Each little episode takes a specific dish and through the characters explains the history of dish, ingredients, how it’s prepared and so on. It’s like watching the Food Channel. I really enjoyed all 7 volumes of this collection. A bit of warning – you will be hungry and crave Japanese food after each little episode.
MSRP: $12.99USD for print edition, $4.99USD for digital edition.
For more info, head to: Viz Media – Oishinbo.
The Sushi Bazooka
August 8, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I am a high volume sushi-eater at home. My wife just can’t keep up with the wrapping while I wolf down the sushi. Now with this gadget, I might have just met my match. Just simply open the device, put in the rice, fish, etc, and then shoot it out like a caulk gun. Heck, maybe this weekend, I can just put to use my caulk gun from Home Depot before this comes through the mail from Japan.
