mulveling Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 god i love sushi. there are some great sushi places in cinci (large expat japanese population here, surprisingly). unfortunately, my best friend and meal buddy hates sushi, and it sucks eating some fugi, and drinking some asahi and sake by yourself. aren't the 6BX7 just great tubes? Love sushi, and love the sushi place on the square where my office is located (not that I go into the office much anymore). The sushi presentation and taste is always excellent. Lunch prices are reasonable - sushi & sashimi special for $9 rules. Dinner prices are much higher but the sushi boat is like totally awesome. The "boat for 1" easily feeds 2 - at least if you can eat faster than your girl then you're good Haven't heard the 6BX7 yet - gonna compare them to the 6BL7GTA I've got on my Supra - which are already kicking ass now that they've got some hours, and now that I got the driver tube thing sorted out (GE 12AY7).

deepak Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I always thought Bawls (not the sugar free) tasted like fruity Sprite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 drinking the bawls sugar free right now. it tastes like a really subtle diet sprite, i like it. mostly it takes like carbonation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojnihs Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 drinking a regular bawls guarana right now and i still think it tastes like cream soda. it's really too subtle to go either way i think. definitely has some citrus elements to it though.

Funny, I always liked sushi when I was on the road travelling alone because I could sit and talk to the sushi chef. Ended up with a nasty sushi habit as a result of that. I still can't walk out of a sushi bar for less than $75, because I have a taste for the fish that doesn't come in the "sushi combo". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 oh nice, i should do that sometime It works because people who eat uni like weird fish, and people who put quail egg on their tobiko aren't gonna be necessarily wanting things that are on the menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like that book nearly as much as Lies of Locke Lamora, but its still cool. Lots of Poppy Z. Brite though. I've never heard her stuff, but I can't say I've ever been intrigued enough to. \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
