So you guys can do or not do what you want-with this one…to save you some time, #33, #28, #15, #10 may or may not be of interest to you! ) one of America’s largest food/drink/lifestyle sites-just released… The Daily Meal Announces the 35 Best Sushi Bars in America for 2015 NEW YORK – October 12, 2015 – The Daily Meal, the world’s largest food and drink lifestyle site, just unveiled its annual list of the 35 Best Sushi Bars in America.

The top restaurants featured were spread throughout the country, with this year’s list featuring 12 states. “It’s hard to believe that as recently as 25 years ago, sushi was still considered by many to be an exotic delicacy,” said Dan Myers, Senior Eat/Dine Editor at The Daily Meal. “Today, however, there are sushi restaurants across America of just about every stripe, from holes-in-the-wall turning out serviceable California rolls and tuna sashimi to sprawling emporiums run by internationally renowned chefs.” To compile the list, The Daily Meal reached out to leading culinary authorities to identify their favorite sushi restaurants. Their suggestions were supplemented with sushi restaurants featured in local reviews and pre-existing regional and local rankings, as well as the many restaurants considered for last year’s ranking. The Daily Meal then graded more than 150 restaurants from across the country on qualities including freshness of fish, variety of offerings, reviews from both professionals and everyday diners, and level of recognition both local and national.

“Some of the top restaurants were easy to identify,” said Myers. “Temples to the craft like Matsuhisa, Sushi Yasuda, and Masa naturally rose to the top, but we were also able to feature some lesser-known places that have yet to be discovered by legions of sushi fans and that deserve attention.” New York City took the lead with 10 restaurants included in the rankings this year, followed by Los Angeles with eight restaurants, Florida with four, and Hawaii with three. This year, the Western U.S. took the lead with 15 restaurants. Other leading regions included the Northeast (12), the South (six), and the Midwest (two). The team at The Daily Meal encourages readers to provide feedback on this year’s list. Did your favorite sushi bar make the cut?

Product page (Thanks, Kazu Y!) If you’re in Japan this summer, you might have seen this catchy commercial for Delicare M’s, a jock itch cream. The lyrics go something like this: ♪ In the summer time our genitals become itchy (itchy) When they become itchy, use Delicare M’s [humming humming] it works!

Come over to Boing Boing today to read my special feature about the “birthing” of Estee Longah, a fabulous drag queen who is empowering gay Asian men to be whoever they want to be. TokyoMango tipster Kazu Y clued me into a new drink on the market (it came out July 13 and is only available to order online): sparkling soy water. Has anyone tried it? I had a lovely sushi dinner tonight at Kabuto in San Francisco with my friends Lisa and Jordan. One of my favorite things to order there is the 1849 Oyster. You shoot it in your mouth and just enjoy the burst of flavors. One of my favorite short films is called Love Hotels, or Anti-Sex, written and directed by Ryotaro Muramatsu.

I blogged about it back in 2008. I can’t find the film online, but I did find this entertaining trailer for another Muramatsu film from 2008 called Hey Japanese! Do you Believe in Peace, Love, and Understanding? Has anyone seen it? My brother sent me this photo of a limited edition Coke + Fanta Orange drink that’s on sale now in Japan. I used to actually do this mix pretty often when I got fountain sodas at fast food joints. Also, do you guys remember a drink that we called the suicide? I think it was Dr. Pepper + Coke + Fanta Orange + Iced Tea. I love these super slow motion camera shots of random events, like a slap in the face and a swimsuit model in a champagne fight! This dress, made from 1000 origami cranes, is currently on display at the London Science Museum. One more good reason to fly ANA! Starting this month, the airline will be offering draft beer on some domestic routes for $8-10. People always thought draft beer would be impossible to serve at high altitudes, but ANA has created a specialized keg that can do exactly that.

Over at Boing Boing, I just posted about the upcoming Mori Art Museum exhibit featuring Indonesian art trio Tromarama. They use woodblock prints and lots of buttons to create stop motion videos, like the one above. July-Nov. Definitely worth checking out! At some Burger Kings in Japan now, you can sit in a personal booth, hook up your iPod, and listen to music. The little shower head thingy keeps the music contained within your booth so nobody will know that you’re listening to cheesy pop songs. Andreas Heikaus created this awesome re-visualization of Super Mario Bros. This video was part of my Bachelor thesis at the University of Applied science and art Hannover. The Super Mario Bros. game, released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, is not longer bound to the television size and get interactive with a new environment. The emphasis of my thesis is on the matchmoving work. It is the process of matching CG elements into live-action footage. A company called Linksinternational Inc is releasing a stylus pen for the iPhone on July 17th.

It comes in black and white, but the black model will be released first and the white one will come later. Kinda like the iPhone4.

Some unexpected news from Takeru Kobayashi, the ex-Nathan’s hot dog eating contest champ, this 4th of July weekend: instead of partaking in the competition, Kobayashi showed up as a spectator but stormed the stage in rage after his nemesis Joey Chestnut took the championship again. He was charged with resisting arrest, trespassing, and obstructing governmental administration. He’s won the contest six times in the past, but didn’t take part this year because of some snafu with the contest organizers — apparently they wanted him to sign an exclusivity clause that would prevent him from doing other competitive eating contests without their permission, which sounds kind of shitty to me. As you can tell from the number of previous posts I’ve done on the topic, competitive eating is a big thing in Japan.
