Screaming Sushi

Friday was a day of bliss.  Naoko and Ai took Ros, Marisa and myself for all you can eat sushi at Screaming Sushi near the Fussa Station.  These fine ladies and I have an unofficial foodie group we created out of our love for FOOD.  We share recipes, teach each other how to cook certain cultural foods (i.e. gyoza and lumpia), and eat at different restaurants around the Fussa area.  There are some other moms that also belong, but today it was only the 5 of us (and Ros' son).  Why?  Well, Sushi that's why.  You either love it or hate it.  And we LOVE it!

Screaming Sushi is a restaurant that has conveyor belts that deliver sushi to tables.  As the sushi chefs create their dishes they put it on the belt and the patrons sitting at table can grab what they like when it passes.  For those in Hawaii, it's like Genki Sushi.

The sushi was so OISHII!  The fish roe, the toro, the unagi, the maguro, the tako, the ika...  Everything was fresh and delicious.  And we did some serious damage as you can tell by the stacks of plates.  No, we aren't OCD about our sushi plates.  If you stack them by color they will give you a discount on your bill.  Also, the colors determine the cost of the plate.  They run from about ¥150 - ¥550.  I believe the gold and silver plates are the most expensive.  Expensive but so worth it.

Finally, one question asked is about the freshness of the sashimi used.  Many people don't like fish because of the "fishy" smell.  What they don't realize is that truly fresh fish does not smell fishy at all or taste slimy.  This hamachi (yum, hamachi!!!)  was caught that day and brought to the restaurant where the chef displayed it to us before masterfully cutting it to serve in sashimi or sushi rolls.  That is fresh, that is quality, that is delicious!

Oh, what heavenly sushi bliss I experienced that day.  I cannot wait to return and experience it all over again.  Until our next foodie adventure!
