Say does anyone one know if Benihana is a real Japanese style restaurant? I went there many, many, many years ago. My friends want to go there this week before our Costco run. I know they cook the food on a grill in front of you with the chef flipping the food for show, and that is all I remember. Anyone been to one of these restaurants recently?

I've eaten at Benihana numbers of times, but I didn't know the real history until I read the Wiki page.

Benihana, as we know it, first started in New York, but Rocky (real name, Hiroaki) Aoki's family began the Benihana name in Japan as a coffee shop.

Hmm, Kobe steak and eggs for breakfast... Pricey, but probably very good.

Fish and chips sushi: Britain's answer to the California roll

It may sound like a culinary contradiction, but "fish and chips sushi" has just become a gastronomic reality.

Composed of white fish tempura in the centre of a maki roll, the sushi is topped with a sprig of green onion and served with a tartar-style sauce.

Inspired by the classic British dish of battered cod and fries, "fish and chips sushi" was created by Noriake Yasutate, chef at Perry''s restaurant in Washington D.C. It was just one of a feast of original sushi concoctions specially created for London''s Sushi Awards 2006.

"It''s Britain''s answer to the California roll," said chef Henry Harris, one of the competition judges. "If you close your eyes, you could believe you''re eating fish and chips, even with the rice."

The city''s sushi connoisseurs flocked to the event this week, which saw seven top sushi chefs from Britain, the United States and Japan in head to head competition.

The winner was American Jeff Ramsay, sushi chef at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo restaurant in Japan, with his "Electric eel" nigiri sushi, combining sweet-flavored eel with roasted pineapple.

Other dishes included smoked salmon sushi flavored with green tea, and yellowtail sushi dressed with balsamic vinegar and basil oil.

Competition judge Steve Munkley said: "We were looking for a combination of textures: crunchiness, softness of rice that melts in the mouth, and a spicy aftertaste."

While the professional sushi chefs battled it out, members of the public competed in the Original Sushi Competition, which was open to anyone, regardless of age, nationality or profession.

The winner, Jaturavit Saysena, 29, from Thailand, is a chef at Chino Latino restaurant in Nottingham, central England. His sushi consisted of rice balanced on deep fried crab, topped with "salsa" made from fish roe, chopped prawn tempura and avocado.

Saysena said that while it is "important to learn the craft of sushi," he likes to experiment with different styles and new tastes.

Over 600 people, ranging from four to 76 years old, entered the Original Sushi Competition, which has been held every year since 2001. The only rule is that the contestants must use vinegar-seasoned sushi rice. (Jiji Press)
