I gotta say:
I am from Seattle, and we get GREAT SUSHI. We have a large Japanese population here, and the freshest seafood you could hope for. And yet, I never developed a taste for sushi...until I went to Teppenyaki (now Teppen Edo, in Japan, Epcot). I got my usual steak and shrimp I enjoy, and hubby got a California Roll as a side to his dish. He offered me some, as he always does, and I tried it...and LOVED IT.
It kicked off a love for sushi that has carried me through the 4 years since then. I have since tried many places around Seattle, and I still wistfully recall that roll at Teppenyaki. Last trip they were closed for the Teppen Edo makeover, but we have ressies for our trip this October to go back!
Hubby had some sushi at Cali Grill that same trip, and he didn't find it to be all that great. But I always hear great reviews there, and would definitely give it a try now that I have developed a palate for great sushi!
