Sushi for 30 days straight in Seattle

After going to Sushi Bistro in San Francisco on 12/6 and 12/7, I took a day off before having sushi for 30 days straight at 21 different restaurants in Seattle.

After two days off, I returned for omakase dinner at Taka Sushi on 1/10. (For those keeping score at home, that's 33 out of 36 days.)

Here are the 21 places that I went to:
