I just had sushi for the first time today at lunch! One of my bosses recently has gotten several grants, so he took the lab out to lunch as a thanks for our hard work.

I loved the miso soup, first slurp reminded me of ham and bean soup though.

Tuna was OK, tasted like tuna from the can, but stronger. The seaweed was kind of weird to chew though. Eel was not OK, tasted a bit muddy and way too strong for me. Had to drink some soy sauce to get myself to swallow it. There were several other kinds of sushi available, however, I wasn't feeling up to trying them after the eel.

For my main meal I went with cooked (medium) marinated beef tenderloin atop asian veggis. Super yum. I will be going back for that again sometime. My boss got a soft shell crab sandwich. There were LEGS sticking out of the bread for crying out loud. Um, I don't think so, not for this rat.

If anyone is ever in Iowa City, I highly recommend Takanami.
