Our New York friends can check out this new sushi joint — Sushi of Gari 46 — at 347 West 46th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues.
Just opening/opened this week — grand opening is this Wednesday, October 25 — Masatoshi Sugio’s third restaurant features 131 styles of enhanced sushi (like fried Kumamoto oyster on the shell w/rice and foie gras w/daikon and ponzu). The food is expensive, but Sugio’s reputation’s sterling. MENU

Funny thing, the Kumamoto oyster. The name will draw blank looks from the Japanese, even in Kyushu. Kumamoto is not know for it’s oysters, and is considered to be too warm. When they hear it’s the most popular oyster in America, they’re really baffled. I assumed someone just borrowed the name for marketing purposes, but it seems the seeds were originally from Kumamoto.

(and i didn’t come from a disadvantaged family – quite the contrary…it’s a wonder i’ve survived.).
