http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/pixyteri/7044 I drive by all the restaurants (Chilli's, Johnny Carino's) on Navarro frequently to check the progress of the Tokyo Bar and Grill.  It's starting to look really great, I'm excited!  Does anyone know when it is slated to open? Or whenabouts at least? I want to go eat there and try the good food! I've had Japanese maybe about 2 times in my life - the latest was on the 22nd of March, and I had Onagi! (Eel - sushi) It was really good! The ginger was cool too, it helps clean your pallette. Other than thinking of the restaurant, I've been thinking of graduation.  I grabbed paperwork to sign up for substitute teaching! Yay! That's it.

It's closer for me to cut over to Stockbauer togo north to the Mall area, yet I find myself cutting over to Navarro just for that very same purpose. I even drive back in there to look for a "Grand Opening" sign or something. Eel is Unagi. not Onagi Unagi is awesome, but stay clear of Unagi no Kimo. (BLEH) My particular favorite is Saba.   Which way do you like your sushi best? Nigiri? Maki? or Chirashi?   http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/pixyteri/7044/#c_44378 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/pixyteri/7044/#c_44378 That's weird.

O_O; Ah, um, I'm not sure, my friend ordered it for me. *embarassed* Either Nigiri or Maki..um...yeah. *looked it up* Nigiri, though I'd need to try more sushi to chose a favorite. ^-^;  I've never had or heard of Chirashi.  What's your fav? http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/pixyteri/7044/#c_44381 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/pixyteri/7044/#c_44381 Ah, Unagi.  Which is Onagi then?

Nigiri or finger sushi Maki sushi (rolled sushi) and Chirashi which is sushi rice in a bowl with the toppings scattered on top. I like Nigiri best becasue it is the easiest to eat. 1. it is easier to grip with chopsticks (Hashi) 2. Maki rolls fall apart if you just try to take a bite rather than stuff the whole piece in your mouth.   Here are some examples of the different styles   NIGIRI   MAKI   CHIRASHI http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/pixyteri/7044/#c_44751 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/pixyteri/7044/#c_44751 There are three ways I knowe of (there may be more) of presenting sushi.
