Viral marketing is important, also for sushi bars. Sushi Hiroba is a place in Hollywood, Los Angeles, that made this cute video to promote their place. Maybe not the best acting performances we’ve seen, but the idea is funny. The music is great though.

I have not been very active on Twitter yet, but I have to say I like it. It gives me a heads up on a lot of things going on in the Internet business, and I get to read stuff that some of the foremost inventors of tomorrows online world is concerned with - as soon as they have read it. On top of Twitter and their feeds and open API´s, there are several of applications being built. Some of them useful. Here is one that is maybe not too useful, but fun to pay attention to - Foodfeed.

A video that shows you how to cut a sushi roll. It also goes a little into how to plate it, and you can see that this chef has done it before…
Sun Sushi comes highly recommended by the locals in Torshov, so we were looking forward to going up there. It is one out of at least five sushi bars I know of in the area, so I guess we have to go back up. This sounded like the favorite among many, though. We thought it was just ok.
But it is a neighborhood place and that is nice to have. I would say it also is a typical take away place, sitting there was not either pleasant or inspiring.
I have known about these pictures for a while, but I have not gotten myself to post them. It took some getting used to. Now I am ready… I think. Who originally took them, I don’t know (or if they ate the food), but it is definitely a new take on sushi. The original post asks if you would want to try this kind of sushi. I know I wouldn’t. Would you?

Another star that likes her sushi - Fergie! Well, she is cool, so we expected this. Fergie and finace Josh Duhamel hit up Katsuya (which we have a review on here actually) a couple of nights ago for some sushi.
Is it just me or is there always a speculation about them being pregnant when Hollywood women go for sushi. So also here, but according to the source Fergie says:
”I’ve never been pregnant and this is probably the 20th time people have said that. So, no, for the record! All I know is that I want to be married before I get pregnant. You’re only a fiancée for a short amount of time and you want to enjoy that moment so we’re just living in the now and enjoying that. I’m 5ft 4in and so when I gain a few extra pounds, it shows. I think people just love to speculate!”

I am not sure how long this restaurant has been a sushi restaurant too, but I was a bit worried it would be another thai/vietnamese restaurant wanting to also be a Japanese restaurant. Seldom a good move.
Eat is quite a big restaurant in size, and it also looks quite cosy from the outside. The interior is inviting and it makes you feel like you want to go inside and give them a chance.
The service was just ok. They were not paying much attention to us, and it was far from full when we were there. A bit disappointing.
This creative Star Wars sushi meal was made by the sushi chef Toru Komuro for his friend Steve Sansweet. Both of them are quite obsessed with Star Wars and kept on bumping into each other on regular occasions.

You might think wasabi is only for eating with our precious sushi. Now it might help save lives when it is used as a way of telling deaf people about fire! Ingenious!
