Sushi Otaku

Welcome to my sushi blog, and, yes, I am aware of the negative connotation of the word ‘otaku’ in Japanese, however being a gaijin I thought I’d throw caution to the wind and use the word anyway. Westerners seem to think they have adopted the word for themselves so at least I’m not the first to misuse it
(stands up) “Hi. My name is Warren and I am a sushi freak.” I love sushi. I obsess over sushi. The yielding crunchiness of Ika (squid). The fresh and fecund creaminess of Uni (sea urchin). The way tobiko (flying fish roe) hides between my teeth for hours after a meal.
I talk about it way too much and if I had my way, I’d have a personal chef preparing me a new type every day for lunch and dinner. I also run the Sushifaq.com website as a labour of love. I *do* have a life outside my obsession, but I can honestly say that sushi factors heavily into my life nonetheless. As yet another outlet, I figured I’d start this blog to clear my head, share my thoughts (and meals), and interact with other sushi lovers out there in the real/virtual world. With that… on with the show. Happy eating!
