よく 大学を卒業できていない夢を見る 講義に出ていなくて 何年も留年して 年下の子たちばかりになって それでも卒業できない夢 なんでだろー ちゃんと卒論書いて卒業したよ ちょうど体の具合が悪くなり始めた時期で必死で、あの頃の記憶があんまりないからかな？
大沢池のハス 市民にも 大覚寺で25日、観蓮節：京都新聞 - http://www.kyoto-np.co.jp/article...

"京都市右京区の大覚寺は、全滅寸前から復活した境内の大沢池のハスを楽しんでもらおうと、７月25日午前９時から「観蓮節」を催す。舟でハスを観賞でき、ハスの葉でお酒やジュースを味わう象鼻杯（ぞうびはい）も行う。今年から一般市民も参加できる。 大沢池のハスは、水草を食べてもらおうと放流した外来魚のソウギョによって、１９９０年に一度姿を消してしまった。２００１年にソウギョを捕獲する活動を始めた結果、06年に再び咲き始めた。今は３０００株近くまで増えている。 観蓮節は２年前から試行的に始めた。これまでは、同寺に総司所を置くいけばな嵯峨御流の華道家向けだった。「観蓮節は唐から伝わり、宮中で行われた。嵯峨御所として知られた大覚寺で、宮廷文化を味わっていただきたい」（企画広報課）と今回から市民にも対象を広げる。 参加希望者は、当日の午前９時〜同11時半に受付を行う。参加費は１５００円（拝観料含む）。人数によって舟の乗り込みを制限する場合もある。問い合わせは大覚寺納所Tel:０７５（８７１）００７１へ。"

I love hamachi (yellowtail) nigiri...if there's a better tasting raw fish, I have yet to find it.

We had dinner at Tokyo in Hillsboro...service was a little uneven as the sushi took a while to prepare so I watched Cassie eat and then she watched me eat, but I got 2 pieces of hamachi for free. I am now gloriously stuffed.

Toro. Done and done.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Fraid not, my fine sonic mixing friend. Hamachi beats toro any day of the week, not to mention that hamachi is much cheaper...besides the answer to fatty tuna (toro) is fatty hamachi! Game, set and match!
- Alex Scoble
from fftogo
I haven't had Toro in so long... It's always M.P. This means "probably not on per diem".
- ha3rvey (free hugs!)
Hamachi is good, but I do like a good sea bass or fatty tuna
- anna sauce
I've had otoro that was to die for (though way overpriced), but I agree hamachi is great. It usually makes up about 40% of my order.
- jcunwired
Albacore from Yoshida's in South Pasadena. Makes hamachi taste like liver.
- Admiral Anika
Good uni is up there too, but not for everyone.
- jcunwired
Thought you were talking about that VPN app. At least I learned that's it's named from a fish. I'll try, following that newly discovered fact.
- ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
And this post proves that Alex has know clue what he's talking about when it comes to sushi. Let's all move on and let him embarrass himself no further. I bet he eats his nigiri with chopsticks that he spent 60 seconds sawing together after putting wasabi in his soy sauce.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I'd take otoro and salmon before hamachi when it comes to raw fish. However, hamachi kama is pure awesome.
- ronin
Depends on how fresh it is and how skillful the chef is.
- Chrimmus Tad
Akiva is the one without the clue...I eat my sushi with my hands...and yes I mix my wasabi with soy and will continue to do so...you just can't take it that you were pwned with the fatty hamachi strategem.
- Alex Scoble
from fftogo
The only people who prefer hamachi are people who shop at K-mart.
- Akiva Moskovitz
<slam>
- anna sauce
...staying out of this but I have to say, chu-toro > toro *runs away before Akiva yells at me*
- Mona Nomura
Mona, this is true but I went with the more common toro because I didn't want people to say, 'WTF IS CHU-TORO OMG'.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Oh Akiva, you eat sushi like a Japanese person -- still remember that discussion we had a long time ago!!
- Mona Nomura
From a pure cost/benefit comparison, toro drools and hamachi rules. And I shop at Trader Joe's...Booya!
- Alex Scoble
from fftogo
Mona, yep! I was taught well! I know my sushi shit, yo!
- Akiva Moskovitz
YES YOU DO AKIVA!!
- Mona Nomura
I'm gonna have to side with Akiva on this one.
- Chrimmus Tad
Have US sushi chefs stopped putting wasabi on nigiri because it's so common to mix it in the soy sauce here? I've only been to a few places where there is any detectable amount on the sushi (I still refrain from mixing though).
- invariant - farewell FF
invariant, if you have a sushi chef who doesn't know how much wasabi to put on nigiri and when, you need to find a new restaurant.
- Akiva Moskovitz
hamachi, ftw!
- .LAG liked that
hamachi is my favorite too.
- Thomas Hawk
Yum, hamachi is the best- and I never shop at K-Mart or WalMart for that matter..
- Ginger Kenney
Hamachi's good, but not my fave. I'm going to go with those who said otoro / chutoro ... sake second choice.
- Anthony Citrano
Anthony, that's just crazy talk.
- Alex Scoble
Sake, especially in the Pacific Northwest, is absolutely killer. I always, always order hamachi but I always come away disappointed if there's no otoro or chutoro. But, then again, I always order tomago so, well, y'know.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Only if the otoro/chutoro is very fresh, and the place I go will give me the nod every time (the same with uni). Hamachi, on the other hand, is typically consistent. Unfortunately here in VA there isn't a great opportunity to have really good sake.
- jcunwired
mmmmm, fatty tuna
- Peter Ghosh
I dunno, Akiva, I've found that hamachi is always top notch, but sake is rarely so, even in Seattle. And while I like toro, it's just too expensive for me to ever get, particularly since hamachi is the bomb. About the only time I get toro or fatty hamachi is when I'm eating sushi with my brother, Ben. And I've never tried tomago...it just doesn't strike my fancy. I'll eat uni at a good restaurant. Normally I order a selection of sake, hamachi, tai, halibut (just for the halibut), tobiko, and smelt roe.
- Alex Scoble
If your conscience will allow it (serious overfishing of the blue fin population), Sushi Roku here has amazing blue-fin toro. God cries every time you do it, though.
- Anthony Citrano
If you like white fish, try hirame or madai.
- Mona Nomura
Hirame is halibut...I just couldn't remember the Japanese term for it.
- Alex Scoble
And it's more fun saying halibut (for the halibut).
- Alex Scoble
What's smelt roe?
- Mona Nomura
Well, of course, it's all a matter of taste, honestly. I can't stand tobiko or roe of any sort, for example, but I'll occasionally get albacore because I appreciate the dryness and a lot of sushi snobs scoff endlessly at albacore. Of course, eating kosher prevents me from eating a good portion of sushi (no unagi, for example) but this can be a good thing (octopus, for example).
- Akiva Moskovitz
Masago, Mona.
- Alex Scoble
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of eel anyhow, Akiva...although Friends used unagi to good comedic effect.
- Alex Scoble
But you are too right. Some people like mackerel and it's way too fishy for me (my rule for most sushi is that if it tastes fishy it's of poor quality - sake, hamachi, halibut, etc. never taste fishy if they are good...only mackerel) and some people like maguro, which to me is tasteless...like eating soy/wasabi flavored jello.
- Alex Scoble
I actually had albacore when I originally wrote this thread and it too is good, but there's just something about good yellowtail or salmon nigiri that hits the spot.
- Alex Scoble
I have friends from Japan that use chopsticks to eat nigiri, and put a little wasabi in soy sauce without mixing it in. This allows some wasabi when eating sashimi, but you can avoid most of it when eating nigiri. Are you saying they don't eat the right way?
- Cristo
Before I started eating kosher, unagi was one of my favorites. It brings so much flavor to the party even if it's about as 'un-sushi' as a California Roll.
- Akiva Moskovitz
C'mon, Chris, you think that the exception proves the rule?
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, no. I'm asking honestly. 1) Is eating with your fingers required for nigiri, and 2) if you're eating sashimi, do you put wasabi in your soy sauce dish?
- Cristo
Slightly off topic, but something that is a delicacy here on the east coast when in season (about 3 weeks in early spring) is shad roe, cooked of course. Yummy stuff if done right.
- jcunwired
Chris, I was taught that nigiri is 'finger food' and only rolls and sashimi are eaten with chopsticks. I was also taught that putting wasabi in the soy sauce is an 'insult' to the chef who prepared your sushi. This may not be the right way but most Japanese people I've talked to about it agree that this is how they were taught as well. I have seen people apply wasabi directly to sashimi pieces, though.
- Akiva Moskovitz
BTW, I was hurt that Akiva would assume that I don't know how to eat sushi...deeply hurt. For the record, I bet he dips his nigiri into the soy rice down instead of meat down. And how is using wasabi an insult to the chef, but using soy sauce is not? Definitely some things just don't transition well from one culture to another.
- Alex Scoble
Oh, Alex - just *try* that attitude with the sushi nazis at Zo or Sushi Sushi... ;)
- Anthony Citrano
For sashimi, from wikipedia: "Another more correct way to flavor soy sauce with wasabi is to place the wasabi mound into the soy sauce dish and then pour it in. This allows the wasabi to infuse the soy sauce more subtly."
- Cristo
Thanks, Anthony. I'm now able to cross two restaurants off of my list of places to try. :)
- Alex Scoble
Alex, I live to hurt your feelings, you delicate little girl.
- Akiva Moskovitz
ROFL, Akiva.
- Alex Scoble
Chris, I like that idea. I often think that sushi chefs are too reluctant to put reasonable amounts of wasabi in nigiri.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Define reasonable? I like it when I get that huge wasabi rush from the brown-green sludge.
- Alex Scoble
Alex, not enough.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Hamachi IS very good. That's why it's nick-named 'How-Much-EE?' as in how much does it cost today?
- Morgan Haley
Having done them both, Alex, I'll say they are very good, but not for the faint of heart.
- Anthony Citrano
"hirame" is better than it, I suppose.
- けんすこ
I'm sure I've seen guests on Iron Chef eat nigiri with chopsticks, so I would have to assume that it is acceptable to eat with your fingers but not necessary. Unfortunately for me I'm always a little gauche because I am a left handed chopsticker.
- invariant - farewell FF
Yeah, invariant, Akiva was just being snarkily pedantic to show his disapproval of my opinion on hamachi. Feel free to do sushi however you want.
- Alex Scoble
I also find it strange that nigiri is finger food, even though the fish is largely exposed to the fingers, while rolls are not finger food, but have more seaweed to hold.
- Cristo
I'm down with toro & uni. Blue fin albacore tuna is also dope. Can't go wrong with hamachi though
- Rodfather
Hehe, yeah I like that video...funny stuff.
- Alex Scoble
left-handed = gauche? brilliant wordplay, invariant :)
- Bren -- Loves Chrimmuh
Eeeeeeew I hate eel! The only eel I eat is hamo.
- Mona Nomura
Chris: 1) Is eating with your fingers required for nigiri, [No. You eat however which way you want.] and 2) if you're eating sashimi, do you put wasabi in your soy sauce dish? [Depends, but I rarely do -- only when it's grated, real wasabi and even then, I'm hesitant. Sometimes, I don't even put soy sauce.]
