for a long time i wanted to go to yo sushi and i somehow never did it. i suppose because there’s so many of them around, there’s no particular urgency to go right there and then. then my mum took me on my birthday when some friends let me down and it was one of the best meals i’ve ever had. this sounds stupid but i love how you can just sit down and start your meal, no waiting for menus and things to arrive! plus there’s so many things to look at while you eat. i highly recommend it! just don’t ruin it by trying to tot up how many plates you’ve had and how much your bill will be!

but then i got a job in a sushi restaurant and realised it was the best food i’d ever had, and it’s actually good for you too! i don’t know when i became so obsessed with japan as a place to visit – i used to spend all my time longing to go back to new york. i’ve always been put off from toyko thinking it’s too far away and too expensive and i would make and arse of myself trying to speak to the locals – but if i wait for these things to stop being issues who knows how long i’ll be waiting?
