A girl visiting from Italy last week wondered out loud why there was a restaurant called Sushi from New York in the middle of Tokyo. I'm guessing it's because they sold California rolls — they were prominently displayed on the menu. Wonder why they didn't just call it Sushi from California.

It's not Sushi From New York. It's "Sushi" From New Your. I find that kind of scary.

Well, It seems like they are serving health-concious sushi rolls. Operating a lot of sushi bars in East Coast states, Genji could say that "Sushi from New York".

Although it still sounds like "burrito from Tokyo" to me as a California resident ;p
