Come Back Su-Su-Soon, Ya Hear!!

Ah, for all of you that really know me, you know I really like sushi! Well, I have died and gone to sushi heaven because I was introduced to quite possibly the best sushi I have ever had. When we first came to the island, about a week after we arrived, our friends took us to a little place called Su-Su-Soon. It's a little tiny kind of mom and pop-style dinner place where the presentation is beautiful, the atmosphere is casual and relaxed, and the food is out of this world good.

It's hard to tell from the pic I took inside the resturant because we were in the back room and my pic is full of Sam's kneecap, but the place is like sitting in someone's cozy little dining room while you look into their tiny kitchen while they are making your food. It's fantastic. When you walk in the door you put your shoes in the big white cubby and they give you these Moroccan leather slippers to wear. Very cools!!

We sat in the back at a traditional Japanese dining table, which means is basically like sitting at a huge coffee table and you sit on little coushins. Poor Mike can't sit and physically cross his legs to fit under the table like the rest of us, so we had to stick him on the end where he could put his poor legs out straight under the table, and he was sticking out from two sides and looked so uncomfortable, but once the food arrives you are in such bliss you could be sitting on nails and really wouldn't care.

The first plate was mine, I had a "big" shrimp tempura roll and a "BLT" roll. Yeah that's right, there was actually bacon, lettuce, and tomato in my roll. The crazy thing is they use cooked salt pork for their bacon. It sounds gross, but it's like melt in your mouth good. The other roll I had was called big because literally its like as big around as a tube of cookie dough, maybe even bigger. A-MAZ-ING! They give you this water too that has herbs in it, so there's lemon grass knots and mint, and it just gives the water a hint of yummy-ness, and they even make their own ginger-ale. It's very ginger-ish, but so yummy.

Mike plate was next. He had a small cucumber roll, a spicey tuna roll, and an Arare roll, which is the one that had the crispy looking little bits on the outside of it. It had squid, octopus, and shrimp in it so I wasn't a total fan, but once I dissected it and just left the shrimp in it, it was quite delicious.

I promise if anyone comes to visit me, this is definately going to be one of the places you go because if you don't, you're missing out on one of the best sushi experiences on the island. Plus, they do have other things besides sushi...
