| - Finally had an opportunity to come down and see what all the flag-waving was all about. Came in to a packed room, shot a quick GPS-ish "hey guess where I'm at, finally" message to Jen K, and got a one-word reply: HAMACHI. Good looking out, buddy. From the sheer amount of menu items, I knew this was gonna have to be a strictly disciplined activity. No fucking about and getting gaijin rolls and teriyaki chicken appetizers. I followed the good advice given by sensei and immediately took down two Hamachi intruders, followed by a Toro bitchslap and 911 pounding. Even if it was just 2pm, I already was getting sauced by SAPPORO (big) and sake. I then hit up some Yellowtail action (forgot the name, by ordering up a crunchroll and throw in some "Yellowtail Action." I then opened it up by going for omakase, and the chef working our section gave the veteran's smile/nod, as he glanced skyward for strength before moving into the small kitchen area behind the ESPN-mime-TV with the saintly gait of Mother Teresa at an AVN convention.
One of the best times I have ever had at a sushi place. The alcoholic beverages negated whatever food allergies I may have had, and I was able to enjoy much drunken bowling later on that evening. Again, I salute you.
Oh, and despite our being there for a lot longer than 1 hour, they only charged my AYCE the 45-minute session fee. Not bad for a beginner.
