Taking Risks And Trying New Things

Who would have ever thought a small amount of rice with raw fish on top of it would become so popular across the world? Sushi’s fame jumped an ocean across and became popular in the USA. Many factors contributed to its popularization and has helped make its place in the American cuisine. As time passed by, the simple creations of sushi evolved to complicated combinations and eye catching presentations today. This change was welcomed because it gave a new perspective of the dish, giving it a new face.

After I seat myself, the waitress serves me a cup of water and presents me a menu. Everything on the menu is written in English. Each item on the menu has a picture and its main ingredients. I notice that some Japanese diners are looking at a menu which is written in Japanese. I guess that there are two editions of the menu. This is considerate. Main dishes on the menu include sushi, tempura, udon, and sashimi, as well as seafood and soup. Drinks include famous Japanese Sake and Shochu, wine, cocktail, and some non-alcoholic drink. I order Sashimi, salad, and vegetable Tempura with rice and mushroom miso soup. When I am waiting for my dishes, I notice that most of the waiters are young girls, but there are also some male waiters. The chefs are male Japanese. The service there is good and efficient. Waiters serve diners with smiles and often refill the cups for diners. Although it is during the rush hour, they serve quickly. My dishes are presented after about 10 minutes. The dishes look nice with bright colors and delicate layout. The tempura is crisp and delicious but not greasy. The Sashimi is fresh and

Pearl East, in Stamford, crafts sumptuous Chinese and Japanese cuisine to satiate any craving in its friendly and relaxing eatery.

Some of Pearl East’s specialty entrees include the nabeyaki udon noodles with chicken, shrimp tempura, scallops, veggies and egg, the black pepper steak cubes with succulent shrimp and onions and the glazed peking duck served with pancakes. Specialty sushi rolls, such as the Pearl East roll with spicy tuna topped with black pepper tuna and the thunder roll with shrimp tempura, avocado and cream cheese topped with crunchy lobster salad and eel sauce, are some of diners’ favorite plates.

If you are craving for Japanese food then head straight to Sushi Dépanneur, a counter-restaurant that offers its customers a wide variety of fresh Sushi dishes at affordable prices. The eatery was set up with the desire to offer the locals of Montreal with a variety of authentic Japanese dishes. On the food menu they have fish dishes like Sashimi, Hosomakis, Maki, Nigiri and other traditional styles of Sushi dishes. Besides their fish dishes try their fried rice pizza with toppings which is very popular. Meals can be accompanied with fresh juices and

It was a tradition for us to go every Sunday and enjoy the delicious, fresh seafood. After a while the restaurant started losing customers & soon after they were shut down. We decided that we would carry on their legacy, taking some of their famous dishes and putting a spin on it. We now serve hundreds of people every day with the best seafood in the state. We handcrafted our menu to be centered on foods such as shrimp, lobster, crabs, salmon, and catfish. The Shrimp & Lobster Bar is one of the few places that have a sushi bar & and a mini bar for kids that do not like

From fish tacos at Duke’s Beach House in Waikiki to the eclectic food scene in Chinatown or Kapahula, Honolulu has something for everyone's taste. Try fine Hawaii Regional Cuisine at local places like Alan Wong’s Restaurant, Roy’s Waikiki or Chef Mavro. Explore Honolulu’s residential neighborhoods and eat like a local with plate lunches, poke and fresh produce from the farmers

Hamachi has lots of wonderful appetizers that are also great for sharing. The gyoza dumplings are filled with ground beef, vegetables and seasonings. Those who love chicken should try the yakitori or the harukami spring rolls. Sushi lovers should try some of the signature rolls or the sushi burritos that are stuffed to the brim with goodness. On the hot food front, customers can eat up beautifully fried tempura, soba noodles and chicken katsu.

My girlfriend and I visited Sushi Haru on a Thursday evening. Like most restaurants on 4th street, the exterior of the restaurant was quaint and quiet- so quiet that we briefly worried that it may have been closed, as there was little lighting outside. That concern quickly disappeared when we opened the door; the interior is warm and inviting. The small, intimate dining room with wood-paneled walls accented by various red, white, and

In Japanese culture, their cuisine is much more refined and well presented such as their dishes like sushi. The food not only has to be the best of quality but it also has to look aesthetically pleasing to the eyes as well.

Reading through the excerpt I was reminded of many foods that I wish I had given a second chance, the main food being tomatoes. While in Rome I experienced a whole different culture through food. I tried my first espresso, had sliced meat, cheese and pastries for breakfast, and discovered what real ice cream was. That was my very first experience with real culturally significant food and I wish I had taken better advantage of it. Being a picky eater I neglected foods that were unfamiliar to me and thus lost the opportunity to discover how significant they were to the community I was visiting. After reading the excerpt I was reminded of a lot of foods I had turned down due to unfamiliarity. Eggplant, mushrooms, tapenade all available for me to enjoy and I was too young and too picky to enjoy them. While I

The restaurant has been serving up good food and cold beer for over 20 years now, and for good reason. It prides itself on excellent service, and even changes up the menu from time to time at the request of its regular visitors (which there are many). In addition to great drinks and burgers, the restaurant serves warm, flavorful soups, salads, sandwiches and daily specials such as its popular California chicken

To develop my creative muscles, I completely put myself outside of my comfort zone by trying something that I would not have eaten if it was not for this class! For this assignment, I ate a slice of S’mores pizza. The pizza had melted marshmallows that served as the tomato sauce like on a regular pizza, it had chocolate sauce drizzled on top of the marshmallows like cheese would be on top pf tomato sauce, and it had graham crackers on top of the chocolate sauce like pepperoni would be on top of the cheese. At first, I was scared to try the s’mores pizza because I thought to myself who would eat something like that or it might not taste good.

Many people take risks. There are many times that people have to take risks. For example, in The Other Side of the Sky they risk getting hurt by the guards. Another example is, they risk getting caught by the guards when they were crossing the border. There are also many risks taken in Barrio Boy. For example, Ernesto Galarza risks not getting along with others in that

Full Moon Sushi is a local favorite of many San Clemente sushi lovers. First let me decribe what you will see in the small restraunt. When you walk in the front door you will see a sushi bar directly across the room. Sitting at the sushi bar can be entertaining because you can see the chefs making all sorts of different rolls and things. The sign in sheet is hanging on the inside of the door where you enter. Because the restraunt is small, it can sometimes be a strugle to fing seating for larger groups, so once in a while you will find youself waiting in a group of people outside. On each table are two soy sauce bottles, one regular with a red cap and one low sodium with a green cap. Next i will tell you what you when smell when you are dining

Blue Fish is a unique dining experience with phenomenal sushi. It is an experience that everyone will always remember, and everyone will be extremely impressed with the food. At Blue Fish, right when you open the door you will see many plants that open up space. When you walk to the front desk, you will be greeted by the staff that is super welcoming and are always in a good mood. There are many servers and I never had to wait in line to get a table. As the server leads you to your table, you will see all the chefs making sushi at the bar area which is nice to see how they make the sushi and other items on the menu. The servers are super nice and generous to you from when you get the menu to when the bill comes. The average cost is around
