In Videos: Sashimi Song by Keyboard Cathy
Singer/songwriter Cathy Wiegand, also known as Keyboard Kathy, likes sashimi so much that she wrote this song dedicated to the "sushi without the rice." I'm not sure whether her sashimi passion is endearing or discomforting—maybe somewhere in between. Close your eyes and you might think you're listening to a musical about sashimi and Chinese food. Watch the video after the jump....New Sustainable Sushi Guides Available Oct. 22
While we're all very familiar with the sustainable agriculture and farm-to-table movements, sustainable seafood has gotten lost in the shuffle. With all the sushi Americans consume each year, you'd think there would be more concern for the history of how sashimi gets to your table and what's done to the environment in the process. According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program, "Sustainable seafood is from sources, either fished or farmed, that can maintain or increase production into the long-term without jeopardizing the affected ecosystems." It's easy to go uninformed about your fish if you don't ask questions. Most sushi restaurants don't provide specific origins, and asking a chef can be intimidating but might be the only way...Lollapalooza Carried on by Sushi Puns
Though the musical acts packed their bags and left Chicago last weekend, Lollapalooza is still in the air—in the form of new BYOB sushi restaurants. Rollapalooza just opened in Boystown, further proving that sushi makes for some pretty lame puns. Despite the allusion, the music here isn't so hot according to one Yelper: "Nobody at 10PM on a Friday night wants to hear 'You Light Up My Life' and a Lionel Richie medley."...'Sushi Go Round' Game
Experience the fast paced world of running a sushi bar by playing Sushi Go Round. Click on ingredients to make specific rolls (doing it incorrectly results in something that looks like a pile of poop), send the sushi out to your customers before they get angry, and buy more ingredients when supplies are running low. It's not realistic at all, but it's a fun way to kill time. [via Metafilter]...Sushi Toy Head + Playmobil Body

Check out the full post for more sushi porn, plus a recipe for the sweet omelette roll called tamago yaki....At Tokyo's Ushio, Order Sushi Without Saying a Word
When you sit at the sushi bar chances are you'll end up chatting with your sushi chef. This interaction is one benefit of sitting close to the action—you can easily express your preferences, find out what's fresh, and develop a nice rapport. If you're not one for small talk, though, you may like the new standing sushi bar Ushio, located at Shinagawa Station in Tokyo, where you can order sushi without uttering a single syllable. How it works: Rows of tokens—each labeled with a kind of fish or beverage and marked with its price—are neatly stacked on the counter. Want some freshwater eel and tuna? Grab the anago and maguro coins and toss 'em in your personal tray. The...In Videos: Singing Human Sushi on Japanese Kid's TV Show
I don't know what the lyrics of this Japanese song mean, but watching a bunch of people prance around in super happy sushi costumes is captivating enough on its own. Whether or not watching this video will increase sushi consumption is yet to be determined. Watch the video, after the jump....Happy 50th Birthday, Sushi Conveyer Belt
Photograph from mstephens7 on Flickr 1958 was a big year. A fourteen-year old Bobby Fischer won the U.S. Chess championships, NASA was created and the very first sushi conveyor belt scooted around a restaurant! It all started in April of 1958 when a mobile stream of plates carrying tuna belly fat and salmon first rotated inside Mawaru Genroku Sushi restaurant in Osaka, Japan. Creator Yoshiaki Shiraishi called it "kuru kuru sushi," which adorably translates to "sushi-go-around" in Japanese, and eventually decided that 8 centimeters per second was the ideal speed—slow enough for safe arrivals, but also fast enough to keep up with voracious appetites. Shiraishi also invented a robotic sushi model, where robots carry the raw fish, but it didn't...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
