EXCEPT there appears to be real fish in there, my man...maguro (tuna) as opposed to fake ass crab (surimi) with cucumber...additionally that cut roll is covered in roe, not merely nori.

Yeah, California maki has the rice/nori combo reversed with the rice rolled in sesame, smelt eggs, or both (as above)... :D

Good point...your observation is much keener than I have given you credit for....it's pretty darn close to a California roll.

Yes the goosefat ain't like the healthy omega-3 fatty acids found in the raw slivers of glistening fish. :mrgreen:

Although the fat o' goose makes a good hairgel.

I was introduced to a wonderful Japanese restaurant here in Shanghai that specializes in fish and crabs. The RMB250 (~USD35) shabu-shabu set has the following:

Starter:
a) 3 types of toro (2 slices each from dai-toro to medium-fat)
b) boiled (and cooled) sakura crab legs (claws)

Shabu shabu:
a) sliced white fish (didn't ask what kind)
b) crab legs
c) veg and tofu
d) rice (to make porridge after the main ingredients were eaten)

'Side' dish:
bowl of rice with dried sea weed flakes and sliced or chopped meguro.

I didn't take any photos and will leave it to your imagination.

Wow, that sounds great...all for 35 USD...that's pretty inexpensive for all that seafood. :)

This is a high-ish price for a set lunch, even Japanese.

Another dish from Tokyo - Miso shiru with kani.
