A little known, unwritten law is that any person of Japanese ancestry who willingly dines at a BH must hang their heads in shame for 2 years. Clapping at any eggshell flips into the chef cap adds 3 years (aggravated clowning).

KG thanks for pointing me to the information about what a Netsuke is. After reading it I gather that is is a doo hickey to keep a little bag or box hitched to the belt of a kimono. Seems like to me that the ancient Japanese folks would have done better to just invent pockets and be done with it. Then they would have had time to figure out the intricatecies of a fork.

Neat finds, KG. I wouldn't mind getting a katana sometime, just to admire the workmanship. Not sure what else I could use it for - not even hunting pigs I always suspected the lessons learned from making great blades jump started Japan's steel industry, in the industrial age. The 6.5mm Arisaka rifles from the '30's were superbly strong rifles.

I remembered that you were half Scot when I wrote it. But you my friend seemed to pull the more civilized from both sides.
You've not seen him after a half-dozen double JDs washed down with Budweiser. At that point, other words besides civilized come to mind more readily.

BTW, there is a Japanese Steakhouse in Nashua, NH that tops ANYTHING that BeniHana's can put forth, including the table-side entertainment! The Onion Volcano is pretty cool. The first time you see it. Leighton, if you get to Anchorage, go to Kumagoro restaurant downtown on 4th Avenue. Not bad for a hole-in-the-wall place. Most JAL air crews make that their home when in town. Ed

As far as the other spot, I'm thinking you'll have to show me some time in person, but the fact that the JAL folks get in there is most encouraging.

Of course, there's another place, Yamato Ya, that I like, too, but I understand that they have moved and some of the reviews aren't as good as the earlier incarnation. I guess we'll just have to go sushi hopping! Ed

I luv sushi on the South end of town is pretty good.
I'll have to try Kumagoro one of these days.
The last couple nights I rolled up sushi at home, wife and kids devoured it so I guess it was ok.

As to the twist.....the faces change on the two pieces but the body and "hair" remain the same.....photoshop vs. interchangeable parts?
