Oh, yes, you can find good sushi in the Chihuahuan Desert.
True . . . Japan is THE seafood lover’s dream.
Eateries offering sushi, sashimi, and a variety of dishes teaming with savory vegetables from the sea are everywhere you go.
So when I ate some of the best sushi I’ve had in a while at a local restaurant, the inevitable happened.
I began to daydream about returning to Japan to eat the great sushi there.
If I had my way, everyone would travel to Japan and fall in love with its fabulous seafood, eating in places where no sushi chef has ever prepared a “California roll.”
But I’ve got this friend who also lived in Japan and reminds me the sushi is a lot cheaper here in the states.
Ah . . .
there he has got me.
So, even as I encourage you to continue piling up your pennies for a ticket to Tokyo, check out this short list of Japanese restaurants.

I explore sushi with my brother David (who orders for me). It’s not my favorite food to eat but I love the artistry of the food. Maybe we need to check out some better restaurants! And I love your pictures 🙂 Very bright and pretty!
Melissa ~ Luv that you love the pix! Yes, Japanese food can be quite beautiful. And just in case David didn’t tell you (though perhaps you know this anyway) . . . it’s the sweet vinegar rice that makes the dish “sushi” – so there are many great flavor combinations you might enjoy trying even if raw fish is not your thing.
I did not know that!!!! So cool. O.k. I need to arrange a sushi night with him- he’ll be surprised!
Yesss! Another sushi fan in the making!
