Portraits of Sushi Tokami
イカ Ika Squid I consider myself extremely fortunate for many reasons. One of them is the number of times I have been able to dine omakase. In Japan alone, I believe Sushi Tokami would be my fourth or fifth experience. If you are interested in fine dining, …
Sanpo, Rosebery
Rosebery isn’t exactly somewhere I would send people in search of a culinary adventure. Which is why our recent trip to Sanpo in that very suburb is a testament to how effective Facebook marketing is. Sanpo ads of their delicious looking uni gunkan maki were populating …
