Always ask for Uni as your first sushi. If they have fresh Sushi, they will smile and have great expectations from you as a customer. If the uni is fresh and nice, they will proudly serve it. If not, they will warn you that it is not good, and then you can move on to other goodies, like smoked eel roll, which sounds dangerous, but is quite tasty. If you say, (somewhere between the smoked salmon and octopus,) "I'll try the uni," They will smirk, and get the oldest box and dole out all you'll endure. Try it. One time I did that in a San Francisco Sushi bar, and then we went to a Japanese bar nearby. A few minutes later that entire Sushi staff came in, and bought us saki, which we drank out of little wooden boxes until we became numb to the cold summer nights of San Francisco. I don't speak Japanese, but my friend did, and she assured me they were impressed Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana Oldest continuous settlement in La Louisiane ?galit?, libert?, crawfish
