All you can eat sushi in Mid Town Mahattan. Was walking down the street one day and saw that all you can eat lunch sign out front, how can I resist? It was like 13.95, now it's 15.95. It's definitely the real deal, not the typical lunch buffet with soup and wings. It looks like their entire menu was on there! Tempura, rolls, sushi, noodles, tofu... everything you can expect from a decent japanese resturant. The spicy tuna and spicy salmon was really good. The cooked food are also good, done the way it was suppose to be done. The only problem is... the sushi is not good : ( Fish was not fresh, what can I say? There are no other way around it. If you stay on the cook food menu, however, you are in for a decent meal at a good price. Very nice lighting though, if you enjoy food photography.

The oldest form of sushi in Japan, narezushi, still very closely resembles this process, wherein fish is fermented via being wrapped in soured fermenting rice. The fish proteins break down via fermentation into its constituent amino acids. The fermenting rice and fish results in a sour taste and also one of the five basic tastes, called umami in Japanese.[1] In Japan, narezushi evolved into oshizushi and ultimately Edomae nigirizushi, which is what the world today knows as "sushi". Contemporary Japanese sushi has little resemblance to the traditional lacto-fermented rice dish. Originally, when the fermented fish was taken out of the rice, only the fish was consumed and the fermented rice was discarded.[2] The strong-tasting and smelling funazushi, a kind of narezushi made near Lake Biwa in Japan, resembles the traditional fermented dish. Beginning in the Muromachi period (AD 1336--1573) of Japan, vinegar was added to the mixture for better taste and preservation. The vinegar accentuated the rice's sourness and was known to increase its shelf life, allowing the fermentation process to be shortened and eventually abandoned. In the following centuries, sushi in Osaka evolved into oshi-zushi. The seafood and rice were pressed using wooden (usually bamboo) molds. By the mid 18th century, this form of sushi had reached Edo (contemporary Tokyo).[3] The contemporary version, internationally known as "sushi", was created by Hanaya Yohei (1799--1858) at the end of the Edo period in Edo. The sushi invented by Hanaya was an early form of fast food that was not fermented (therefore prepared quickly) and could be eaten with one's hands at a roadside or in a theatre.[3] Originally, this sushi was known as Edomae zushi because it used freshly caught fish in the Edo-mae (Edo Bay or Tokyo Bay). Though the fish used in modern sushi no longer usually comes from Tokyo Bay, it is still formally known as Edomae nigirizushi. [edit] Appearances in the West The Oxford English Dictionary notes the earliest written mention of sushi in English in an 1893 book, A Japanese Interior, where it mentions sushi as "a roll of cold rice with fish, sea-weed, or some other flavoring".[4][5] However, there is also mention of sushi in a Japanese-English dictionary from 1873,[6] and an 1879 article on Japanese cookery in the journal Notes and Queries.[7] A report of sushi being consumed in Britain occurred when the then Prince, now Emperor, Akihito (b. 1933) visited Queen Elizabeth II during her Coronation in May 1953.[8][9] In America in September 1953, Prince Akihito is noted as having served sushi at a dinner at the Japanese Embassy in Washington.[10] [edit] Types The common ingredient across all kinds of sushi is vinegared sushi rice. Variety arises from fillings, toppings, condiments and preparation. Traditional versus contemporary methods of assembly may create very different results from very similar ingredients.[11] In spelling sushi, its first letter s is replaced with z when a prefix is attached, as in nigirizushi, due to consonant mutation called rendaku in Japanese.
