I like this.
As a friend of sushi I found this to be very informative and enjoyable. The style is bright and appealing. It's impressive what you've accomplished in just 2 weeks.
Reviews for "Sushi Infographic"
nice
but you forgot the about the kikoman soy sauce that comes in those glass bottles with the green tops that say "low sodium" and how the soy sauce goes with the wasabi in the small saucer and you take the sashimi/nigiri/maki/temaki/etc. and drown it in deliciously disgusting salty soy-wasabi mix and afterwards chew down some ginger or wash it all down with miso.
but i commend you. you did a great job with the flash.
TO THE SUSHI TRAIN
nice typography animation. kinda boring but still pretty fun to watch. Now I'm off to the sushi train xD
Hmmm...
The overall flash was good...but I have some beefs (pardon) with sushi...
1) I see the warning about mercury in fish all the time from dietary review boards, dietitians, et.al. They say to limit or avoid fish, especially shell fish, due to high mercury levels, but that doesn't address the main issue...fish wouldn't have high mercury levels if mercury wasn't polluting water ways. Fish do not naturally have high mercury levels. They get it from man-made run offs containing mercury. But instead of saying "push your local businesses and governments to clean up their act" they say "limit fish consumption, especially if you are pregnant". This annoys me to no end, because fish is an otherwise excellent source of highly bio-assimilable protein.
2) Sushi is f'ing expensive. Not to paraphrase Churchill here, but "never have so many paid so much for so little." You can easily dole out $50 at a sushi place for 2 people, and for what...? Some rice which is pennies per pound, some fish which is a bit pricey but usually only little tiny minuscule chunks of it are used in your sushi, and some veggies which are also inexpensive. It's driving factor is it's a fad, pop-culture item made, like bottle water and other crap, where folks have been suckered into paying a lot for otherwise cheap stuff. Sushi in Japan is inexpensive, because it's available every where, seafood is cheap, and folks go to sushi bars for a cheap meal. But here, it's like you're dining out at the Ritz Carlton...places charge you up the ass for the privilege of eating it. And most places don't even make it right.

lol not sure what those views on it has to do with this piece but mmm alright teehee
Japanese
have the ability to make their food look like the most delicious thing on earth. And then you taste it.
Good infomercial tho, I already knew all what was told here (specially after that simpsons episode...) but it's always good to refresh the memories
