Oh I am certainly envious of the vast array of restaurant choices you have down where you are Brian. It's always a delight to come down to NYC and check out new restaurants. The closest real sushi restaurants near to where I live are down in Hartford CT, about a 75 minute drive.

It is also one of reasons to avoid the city, lol. I can resist many of life's temptations but good sushi isn't one of them. :)

It looks good! All I know of sushi (correct word usage?) is what I've been exposed to here in the USA (and the great scene in Kill Bill) and some has been great and some awful. I cant afford to go to some hidden gem in Japan and, since I can't speak Japanese, I would be at their mercy (and distain?) as to what I received. The very few places here in Kansas City has been a treat to watch the preparation and craftsmanship displayed in assembly and presentation. I really like the knives used.
There is one place here that puts cheese in the sushi!! Yuck!

Much the same in Australia as well.

They allow you to bring whisky too :D (the one near me gets really......really angry if you bring anything other than wine, hehe).
Whisky with sushi? Beer or sake surely!

I am lucky in that we have both good access to seafood (some people comment that the salmon here is better than they can get in Japan) and a number of good Japanese restaurants here. But I guess living in a city of 4+ million which gathers most of the migration gets you that. On the other hand, our prices for imported tools (and houses) ...

I don't tend to make sushi rice much, and my attempts to make tamagoyaki end up much like my dovetails (not quite set right and slightly out of shape). I end up doing the desserts at home :)

Beer and whisky are related :)

Islay scotch is a perfect companion, but if not scotch then champagne will do. :D. I've got some great sake but it's not my go to.
