      Hey AMP -- How good is the Japanese food in Hawai'i? How many restaurants are there by square mile? How much money does the average Sushi Deluxe go for ($16 here)? I gotta have answers to these questions for next month as sushi is the best god-damn food in the world.

      But............ I do not like spicey foods thus I do not like wasabi. I think it ruins the taste of the fish Just a tad of soy sauce for my sushi ;)

                What we do around our house is simple. We keep 30+
                kinds of chilis around. We just mixup what we use so
                that we never build a full tolerance to any 1 kind.

                Also if you want "KICK" make sure that you are not
                diluting it in your mouth with sugar. Instead of a Coke,
                get an unsweetened ice tea with your sushi.

                    oh man i love wasabi! Thought I was the only one eating gobs of it But yeah you do develop a tolerance for it, just gotta step it up or try another sushi place. Wasabi and chile both vary a lot.. I've noticed like 4X difference in the sushi bars I've been to. The belief is that wasabi kills any bacteria in raw fish, so eat it up!

                    Try ordering your sushi chef a beer and ask for the good stuff, they might make it fresh for you.

                      Sure thats real wasabi? I used to think I was immune to it because I'd been using the stuff they sell to us round-eye's in grocery stores.

                      Then I plastered my usual big dollop on top of a tuna roll in a Japantown restaurant. My head almost exploded

                            Japanese food is nasty

                            It's also the main reason why Japan is populated by 5' tall males.

                              Well... maybe I threw up 20 minutes later...

                              but that was bad planning on my part ~ full stomach with a couple ounces of wasabi on top, not smart.


                              just a little bit naughty

                                I never thought about it til you said it Amp but you are right! It takes way more of that stuff to start breathing fire than it used to.

                                      Sushi is like heroin, you get addicted to it. I remember when my friend took me to a sushi place, I was disgusted even looking at it, but when I tried it and now I can't get enough of it.

                                        I love Japanese food but can't stand wasabi. I can eat hot peppers and other spicy things but not wasabi.
                                        My girlfriend can eat spoonfuls of the stuff though.

                                            There is Japanese food that isn't raw and tastes good. I love their Terraki chicken.

                                              Speaking of Wasabi, Try out Wasbi mashed potates, dop a tabespoon of Wasabi when mixing up the mashed potates.....

                                              Drop some tahini - ginger portabello mushrooms on top of the wasabi mashed potates. Really nice Vegan meal and I am not veg at all, but, the Mrs is. Really Really good..............
