The Pioneers - First Sushi Bars in the U.S.
Little Tokyo - Los Angeles
Kawafuku Restaurant - First Sushi Bar in the US

In 1966, Mr. Nakajima opened the Kawafuku Restaurant in the Little Tokyo area of Los Angeles, the first to serve Edomae-sushi in the U.S.

Mr. Nakajima is the primary sushi pioneer in the U.S. Though Kawafuku - and other early restaurants - targeted Japanese immigrants, it was actually Japanese businessmen that first frequented the sushi bar. The businessmen would bring their American clients to experience Japanese sushi, and this inadvertent marketing success helped quickly expand the American desire for raw sushi.

Kawafuku's Chef Saito became the first American-based sushi chef, and his wife its waitress. In four short years Mr. and Mrs. Saito earned $30,000 - a small fortune. They returned to Japan and opened a gorgeous sushi bar in Ginza, Japan. As word spread that there were good business opportunities abroad, scores of young chefs frustrated with the rigid protocol of the Japanese sushi industry begin leaving for U.S. sushi bars.

Our search for more information of these pioneers continues, if you have any historical information about Kawafuku or its chefs in the 1960s, please email us and help us complete this story for future generations.

**Elle Sommers** · 06-09-2006, 10:30 AM

I love sushi!!

Side-note.. Tony from NatNet is the BEST person to get sushi with, he knows all the best stuff to order and is some sort of sushi connoisseur.

**Babagirls** · 06-09-2006, 10:30 AM

hmm never tried it. but i think tassy was right about the sushi peer pressure thing, sushi eaters are always trying to convert non-sushi eaters.

We can cuddle.

Actually I am a terrible peson to drive around. Hell I freak the hell out when others drive all the time and that is not in a big city.

**laura** · 06-09-2006, 10:50 AM

i was in Japan a few weeks ago at the busiest fish market in the world in Tokyo and ate the freshest most awesome tuna sushi at 9 am

it melted in your mouth
we ate some weird fucking food over there... mainly because you cant read the fucking menu

we also ate Fugu, pufferfish.....yeah the stuff that is poisonous if cut wrong.
we waited til the last night of the trip because i didnt want to die on vacation. The raw fugu was kind of rubbery and bland, the cooked was yummy.

there are a lot of sushi bars in Japan with the conveyor belt going around the restaurant and you grab what you like (or recognize LOL)

**OG LennyT** · 06-09-2006, 10:52 AM

I eat it socially thats it

**quiet** · 06-09-2006, 10:53 AM

i LOVE sushi, but it has to be fresh. i steer clear of those cheap all you can eat places. and it better be a japanese chef preparing it.

**Mr. Romance** · 06-09-2006, 10:53 AM

Love it and it sucks here in Uruguay.... the best i can get is in Buenos Aires and is not that good there either; however, the beef here in Uruguay is the best in the world!

I have eaten sushi but think its so so

Two reasons:

1. It tastes great.

2. It's healthier than the shit you gobble.

I'm so addicted to ebi sunumono salad.

Elli,

Where's a good sushi place in Vancouver?

**laura** · 06-09-2006, 12:13 PM

heres some fried octopus on a stick for ya! (so nasty)

**laura** · 06-09-2006, 12:16 PM

BBQ'ed pufferfish

this is the Tsujiki Fish Market... i had to throw my shoes away. There was no way i was bring stinky fishy Converse back in my luggage

**Jill_J** · 06-09-2006, 01:03 PM

I hate sushi

**cool1** · 06-09-2006, 01:07 PM

I tried it once and I didn't like it at all
will never try it agian.

**fuzebox** · 06-09-2006, 01:22 PM

I still like it, but I haven't been to a place outside of Vancouver that comes close to the places I grew up going to...

Tanpopo on Denman is the only place I've ever been to that serves wild sockeye salmon instead of the crappy farm stuff... And no sashimi limits with all you can eat

**notabook** · 06-09-2006, 02:29 PM

It's funny, I hate most cooked fish but I absolutely love sushi and sashimi! My favorites are crunchy rolls and O Otoro (fatty tuna) rolls. I hate that toro is so expensive though, here it's more than double other expensive sushi! It's like $7 a slice

I guess Sushi is like anal sex: you either like it or you don't.

**pimpthosepills** · 06-09-2006, 02:38 PM

OMG I got hungry just by watching all that food! Yummy yummy! Sashimi rules!

**gecko** · 06-09-2006, 02:41 PM

love sushi!!!!

**Rhesus** · 06-09-2006, 03:29 PM

Sushi is fantastic! At first I thought the whole thing was dull, now I'm just addicted :-)

**Rhesus** · 06-09-2006, 03:31 PM

Considering your weight and diabetes, you might want to consider trying it a little more often...

**zerrlander** · 06-09-2006, 03:42 PM

MMMMMM ... sushi love it. Not ALL the raw stuff, but the rolls are good. Salmon is good. Rice with soya sauce is good. Tempura is tastey. Miso soup is nummy. Just had it for lunch in fact

**aico** · 06-09-2006, 03:49 PM

I eat sushi at least once a week, fucking LOVE sushi. Great food, sexy asian waitresses, crisp clean Japanese beer... can't go wrong.

Miso soup made mi so horny!

**WiredGuy** · 06-09-2006, 06:18 PM

I like Sushi, but just on rare occassions. Too much of it and it loses its appeal. Once a month or so is plenty for me.

**Spunky** · 06-09-2006, 06:25 PM

That's one food I can eat everyday..I love it
