Tatsu Sushi Bar in Chicago
Fried calamari
As some of you may know, I’m not big on sushi. I don’t hate it, I will occasionally order it…I’m just not a big sushi buff. I’ve definitely had good sushi before, but I guess my ambivalence makes sense because I’m generally not very big on seafood. But here’s the other thing about sushi– it’s like eight bites. Some people can get full on eight bites, and others are…like me? Anyway, I just don’t really have ’sushi cravings’ or whatever. I tried to explain to this to my sister who LOVES sushi.
“SO…you don’t like sushi?”
“No, it’s not that I don’t like it…I just never crave it.”
“SO…you don’t like sushi?”
She can do this for hours. I think she eventually went on this “Let me convince Shyema to like sushi” thing because the last time I was in Chicago, she said once I eat Tatsu, I’ll have a different opinion. And when you go to Tatsu, apparently the thing to order is the crispy shrimp.

Craving of the Day: Hibachi
I recently went out to have Japanese food with my cousins at Sakura in Parsippany, NJ, and though I’m not a sushi-lover myself, I did love watching the hibachi cooking action. It’s when the chefs cooks the food in front of you on a heated flat stove — it was the first time for me!
Not only is it fun to watch the chefs juggle their knives and spatulas around while they cook perfect portions of noodles, stir fried rice, meat, shrimp, and chicken, the food ends up having this great BBQ flavor.
Japonois in NYC = amazing.
I haven’t been to many Japanese restaurants, but one that I am already craving to go back to is Japonais. I went for the first time recently, and the food is seriously mouth-watering good.
