Sushi Again

My wife and I like to eat a little bit of sushi now and then. I am amazed at the quality of sushi that can be had in this day of age in the middle of our country and as far out in the sticks as we live. There is better sushi to be had in our Urban Jungle 100 miles up the road but it isn't worth the drive just for that. Fortunately, a sushi restaurant opened up in our town a few years back that makes pretty decent sushi and so we would go there fairly regularly, at least by our standards. (Maybe four or five times a year.)

The about a month ago, it was hit with health code violations, which is never a good thing when consuming raw ingredients. (Most of the sushi we eat is preserved but occasionally we get some with raw fish in it.) While definitely a concern in a restaurant setting, most of the violations could probably be found in most household kitchens but it was enough that they were forced to shut down and have been closed every since.

At least that was until this past weekend when we drove by and saw the door being unlocked and the sign flipped over to read 'OPEN' and so we decided to try out luck again. Although most of the staff is the same as the previous place, one new person came over to answer our question about the meaning of the new name printed on the menus and told us that they had a new owner and had just completed a remodel of the kitchen area. The menus were largely the same but had a number of additional things added to it. 

So we tried a couple new to us sushi rolls and once again, enjoyed the ability to eat excellent tasting sushi way out in the middle of rural America. It certainly beats the two all you can eat buffet places and a handful of fast food restaurants that are in the same part of town.
