^ Shouldn't really be cheating... It doesn't look unhealthy at all, unless you're concerned about the mercury level in the tuna...

I am eating smaller proportions these days. That salad is pretty big. Hehe.

But yeah it could be a lot worse. It could be a beer. :P

You probably know this but super markets start marking ish down near closing time. If I stuck around for another 30 min it would've been marked down even more. Nana hyaku yen was good enough for me. :metaldevil:

Yes, I've heard about the practice of discounting food near closing time. I totally agree, the price you paid was quite inexpensive as is. :) If I was hungry I don't think I would wait the additional 30 minutes. I'd pull out some coins from my pocket, pay the 700 Yen and eat!

Good job, man. :applaud:

As long as it wasn't from the previous day. :sweat:

Don't forget to try it next time you dine in Culver City when visiting your friends! :)

Although yesterday I went to the new one that opened up on Sunset in Hollywood.

That's a great price for sushi!! Looks delicious!! :applaud: What's that "pinkish" sushi next to the egg sushi at the bottom?

Does anyone know if Mitsuwa or Nijiya discounts their sushi at the end of the day? Just curious.....I'm never there close to closing.

Negitoro? Negihamachi?

Heh, I've never been there around closing, either... Thing is, you don't know how long that thing has been sitting there.... :sweat:

When I mentioned "Tender Greens" to my friend a month ago, she didn't seem too interested. I know it's unbelievable but she suggested... Denny's for breakfast!!! I just went with the flow and ate a breakfast.

What kind of dressing comes with that salad?

LOL. :hehe:

My guess would be some kind of vinaigrette... So as to not overpower the food itself.

The super markets put a time when they prepared the sushi or bento on the original price sticker. The sushi I bought was about 4 hours old and still tasted fresh. They do a good job at ensuring the food is still good for consumption.

Cool.

The toro seems to be really hard to come by here: more times than not, it's not available... At least at the sushi places I frequent. :sweat:

Ah, that's cool... I'll check the packaging at the Mitsuwa and see if they time stamp their sushi... :fingerscrossed:
