Today (Sunday 9-14) is Michi Japanese Restaurant’s anniversary.
Free sushi will be served between 5:00 PM and 2:00 AM. Be warned, it usually runs out before 10:00 PM. I shall be there with bells on.
Michi Sushi labors under the constant nagging fear that if they serve a cut of fish smaller than an index card, they will instantly go out of business.
I’ll be attending with my friend aloha aloha and other acquaintances of mine. We’re bringing them a gift basket of exotic treats and goodies. I’ve got the feeling that a nice bottle of sake figures somewhere in this equation.

Why is there never any free sushi here in Alabama?
Oh yeah, 'cause it’s Alabama. <sigh>
We have a great sushi place here in town (Honestly) and we go there about once a month. Anyless and the sushi chef will fuss at us. We have to keep the people with the very sharp knives happy, now don’t we?
Mr. Shin, the owner, did not serve free sushi for his restaurant’s 19[sup]th[/sup] anniversary. To accomodate the few hundred guests that showed up, there were three whole roast pigs, around 100 grilled mackerel and about 50-100 pounds of bulgogi style riblet steaks. This was augmented by loads of rice, kim chee, vegetable tempura, oriental salad and about a bazillion gyoza (pot stickers). There were two dozen cafeteria tables set up outside to handle the overflow. The entire restaurant was cleared out to make room for the food service buffet. All you could eat, of course.
Did I mention the ice chests full of free sake and beer?
I’m glad to say that aloha aloha and I arrived bearing a gift basket full of goodies. There was a rhizome of true wasabi root, some matsutake mushrooms, two types of fire oil, pickled garlic, the finest Kikkoman sashimi grade shoyu and a bottle of high quality draft sake chilled for summer weather drinking.
