MANEKI (sushi)
Best sushi in seattle unless your name is Santos. If your name is Santos and you sleep in bed with Al you’re most likely a cat and not really that into sushi despite cartoons depicting you and all your cat friends making high brow jokes over trays of spicy tuna rolls. If you’re a human, 9 out of 10 of you will go bonkers for this place. The big mouth roll is super as is the squid intestine (yum!). Last time we mixed ikura, uni, and tamago all on top of one nigiri piece just to defy Gabe’s rigorous sense of decorum. “It was a real triumph of the human spirit,” said Barack Obama, who was dining at the table next to ours. It’s important not to antagonize the gabes over dessert, as we regretfully learned last time when mixing shiro maguro in with his red bean icre cream.

Maneki is great. But it’s for poor people. Their avocado salad is a perfect way to start a meal. The think about Maneki is how obsessed people are with how “great a deal” it is. It’s like shut up, it’s cheap, and that’s awesome, but don’t be a fag about it. Just go there and eat your food and shut the fuck up.
Shiro’s on the other hand is wonderful when someone else is paying. It’s also good for sitting down at the sushi bar (never at the tables, the tables suck) and just having the guy do it up for you. I love doing this. It makes me feel like such a total WASP asshole. I love being the white guy that thinks he knows his way around a sushi restaurant. I even might try to pronounce a few things in Japanese, so as to really piss off my crew. It’s like people that say “agga dashi DOFU” instead of “agga dashi tofu.” Yes, I know that they call it “dofu” in Japan but fuck you and don’t fuck around like that here in America.
It’s like people that are so pleased to announce to the world that they actually don’t have chopsticks in Thailand, or anywhere in Southeast Asia except ‘Nam. Congratufuckinglatious asshole, you know something and are so very proud to share it.
Anyway, Maneki is great if you are poor and I am pretty poor right now. I sure as hell can afford a big meal at Shiro’s right now which is why I’m having Brooke take me there next time I am in Seattle, fuck.
