Get It While It’s Cold
Damn, only been alive for 10 hours, and already we’re turning into a sushi fan site.
This article at the Mainichi is perhaps the most enthusiastic article I’ve seen in a long time. About anything. This particular article concerns itself with a limited edition ekiben (lunchbox you buy at stations) which is only available from Numazu and Mishima stations, and only until the 31st of May. I loved the enthusiastic way Shinobu Kobayashi describes it -
Haru Gentei Minato Aji-zushi, however, is an exception. It is superior in freshness, uniqueness and taste. It is really good. Devoted ekiben fans like us have been waiting for horse mackerel sushi like this.
Until today, I had no idea there was such a thing as a devoted ekiben fan.
And finally, Sushimatic loves Shinobu Kobayashi for listing her interests as drinking, not once, but twice.

I just hate it when people bring their “oishi” (tasty) fish bentos on the Shinkansen and make the whole carrage smell like fish. Now generally I like fish but I just don’t want to smell it for the hour ride home.

Funnily enough, I saw a documentary on Mishima/Numazu ekiben and they detailed how many of these packages were made and the fact they cost between 1000 and 3000 yen each (around ~$10 to ~$30 in your favourite currency).
Makes you appreciate what a wonderful place we live in.
