How To Eat at a Sushi Bar
I came across this spoof of sushi bar etiquette (and foreign interpretations of Japanese culture) a while back. If you regularly eat sushi and hear about how to and how not to do things (e.g., do not soak your sushi in soy sauce), it's pretty funny. D and I now say "ma ma ma ma" and "o toh toh toh" and crack up when pouring beer at Japanese restaurants -- I though I'd post this so people know what we're laughing about. The reference to 3.2 inches and 48 degrees at the beginning should tip you off, even though the whole thing is put together as a pretty convincing instructional video. I'm sure there are a many references that we're not getting, too, but many are pretty obvious ("toro is a junk food for low income earners. The fish is recycled..."). Maybe Clay or someone else with a bit more Japanese know how will read this and explain it to us.
