I've been looking forward to this for a long time and now I have to bow out. I'm totally slammed with the deadline for my December issue, and will be working most of the weekend -- including evenings.

Sucks.

And the rest of us six who you hoped would join you to make seven are probably all out as well. Mari has an old friend in town and will be hanging with her on Friday. I can't speak for the others for sure, but I know Wayne & Masha work nights Wednesday-through-Sunday, so I'd be surprised if they can make it, and I think Steve said he and Mimi could only get out on Saturday.

If you have some time on Saturday evening, we might be able to bring you to something -- email me.

As an addendum to the above post:

If anyone in the Seattle area can get out for a couple of hours on Friday evening and join Nature at Mashiko, you're in for a treat and should let him know right away.

He's good company, and the food will be beyond incredible.

eKat - yeah, it's the same place.

I'll start a new thread (and delete this one).

Not only will I wave... I'll have a ST sign ;)

no worries steve... if they we not closed for a party we'd do it tomorrow.


Unagi is no longer served at my sushi bar. It's on the not-sustainable list. Hajime doesn't offer it either.

Didn't know that about unagi, thanks for the heads up.

Enjoy your meal, I'm sure it'll be epic.

I'm still doing some work to the site but I think it's in decent enough shape to start to share.

I find it hard to believe that fresh water eels are not sustainable. They are a problem exotic in Florida.

Nature, give me a call. I have a few items that might interest you in particular.

Anago is better anyway. And as far as Unagi not being sustainable goes put a worm and sinker on and cast it into the Delaware River. Unagi every time.

The unagi that is supplied to sushi restaurants is not sustainable.
That it can be is a moot point until the industry changes their sourcing methods.

I won't support that aspect of the industry.

And though I agree about Anago the evidence is unclear as to the impact on the environment as well as sustainability of the fishery.

Good word. Sustainable. I like the idea of trying to source from farms that will be around a long time from now but that isn't always the case. At the rate that species are being over fished world wide in twenty years most things on a sushi menu will be gone. Maybe aqua farming is the key maybe it's not. Who knows. But props to you for sticking to practices that you feel are the right way. Even if it means no catapillar rolls. And enjoy the fish. That place looks great.

I keep seeing the thread title and keep thinking you could adapt some "Nature in the P.N.Way" lyrics to this song? :-)

I'm looking at the sushiwhore webcam and not seeing you. In fact, not seeing anybody. WTF? The place can't be empty, so the cam must be fuct.

Raise one of the many glasses of saki you get to me. (And feel free to drop over after you've gorged yourself.)

I hope Dave lets you try some Chinato.

Doug wanted beer.

He seemed to like what I gave him, so we stuck with that. Until the very end when I gave him some of the sake Mari brewed this summer.

If he comes for another visit when he's a little older, I'll let him try some of the Chinato.

I wish I had been able to share the meal with you, but I had to get at least some work done. Still, it was good to see you for the latter part of the evening.

And yes, I usually do have some beer.

There were quite a few threads hit by a spambot (posting as Shirley), all at the same time. It wasn't specifically targeting this thread -- probably just crawling web forums looking for key words and dropping in the usual sales garbage.
