Shibucho Sushi might be one of the best places around. Of course a large percentage of you think sushi is all about the fried rolls, or combinations of fish to make one gigantic roll. It is those things now, in a hybrid USA, but there’s also the simple and I’d say, more pure. Sushi Shibucho is one of those places. It’s not too pricey compared to others who load you up with sushi pieces with a variety of sauces and styles, this one gives you sushi that’s clean and simple, and therefore, super rare.

Lunch breaks gotta be extended if you want to eat at a truck. I’m still not willing to wait it out. Martin got a shave-ice. It was good. I’ve also heard recent news that Baja Fresh is making Kogi Tacos. Read about it on laist. Kogi supposedly means “meat” in Korean, so I guess although there might be confusion, the name is pretty pedestrian. I think a problem happens with confusion, so who knows, maybe there’s a case. If BF used Kogibbq Tacos, that would be a big time bust… but for now, this is what I think. Kogibbq still has lines.

US Border Patrol! I wonder if they say who the package came from? What’s in there turtles from Hong Kong, maybe bootleg DVDs? No, it’s Shinjuku Incident featuring Jackie Chan and Daniel Wu. I’ll check out the film, but the Customs folks mangled the envelope! It’s the price of freedom…

I have no idea why I decided to draw, but I did all with a ballpoint pen. I know I could do this better, but this is pretty much how it would come out anyway. Drawing is fun sometimes. I wish I could draw every day. It would be fun to color this, but I probably won’t.
