gaijin rolls!

[unbibium]

Last Thursday an old friend stopped by, and taught me the finer points of rolling sushi.

It cemented the point that it's not the kind of thing a single guy can throw together for dinner.  But it is the kind of thing I can practice at home in order to master as a technique.

It's too bad fresh fish is so hard to find in Phoenix, but that's why processed food was invented.  I'll start at rolls named after parts of America, and slowly work my way towards the classy raw-ingredient balled sushi.  A year from now, I'll be calling up Japan and ordering blowfish, whale, or cloned trilobite.

Whole Foods generally has good-quality fresh fish.

I threw "Japanese markets in Phoenix, AZ" into maps.google.com and got a few accurate hits. Those might carry sashimi-grade fish for your rolling pleasure.
