		<title>Sushi Items 102 &#8211; Hirame and Ohyo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To westerners, the Japanese name for various sushi items can be difficult to remember, but worse even is when terms are used interchangeably or incorrectly. I thought it would be interesting to start a series on clarifying item names (in the vein of my White Tuna – Sushi Confusion piece of yore), providing some insight [...]]]></description>
