Splurging on Sushi, Bad for Budget I know June 22, 2006
After seeing a couple of interesting articles this week, on the “sushification” of America and Tokyo’s Tsukiji market, I had a craving to go to my favorite sushi bar in NYC. I don’t go often, but when I do, I tend to splurge on sushi. I’ve been fortunate to have great sushi from a young age, so I can’t bring myself to go to less expensive sushi restaurants. Sushi tends to be either really fresh (i.e. expensive) or just ok (i.e. cheap and not as good quality). For me, splurging on sushi is worth the cost. I’ve had mediocre sushi and got food poisoning or came away disappointed. I know it’s bad for the budget but for the rest of the week I’ll be making up for it by cooking.
It seems as though there’s a sushi boom out there. Did you know that there are thousands of sushi restaurants in Russia? In the USA, there’s now a sushi counter in Wal-Mart! Compared to the $500 chef’s selection dinner at Masa in Manhattan, my once-every-two-month sushi splurge won’t break my bank account at $35/person.
Are there food splurges you must have?

Tomoe is awesome! Relatively inexpensive but sooooo good. They recently raised their prices so it’s not as great of a deal as it was before.
I didn’t realize they raised their prices until I went there last week. It used to be a much better value, but now, I don’t know how often I’ll go..
