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:
Wasabi Bistro
12/09/08
Mashiko
12/10/08
I Love Sushi
12/11, 12/24, 12/25/08 (omakase)
Umi Sake House
12/12, 12/22, 12/23, 12/26, 12/31/08
Ototo
12/13/08
Chiso
12/14/08
Kisaku
12/15 and 12/28/08 (omakase)
