I did not know the story behind that (I've never seen it here; maybe the sushi places are too Westernized).Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885327989629063071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14090396.post-29792028641499579832007-06-18T18:39:00.000-07:002007-06-18T18:39:00.000-07:00Oh, I caught the sarcasm and added some of my own ...Oh, I caught the sarcasm and added some of my own :-) I agree it's tough to put the right tone in writing.
