    I sometimes have a serious sushi craving that has to be satisfied, even if its crappy sushi. Including grocery store sushi rolled in another state (I sometimes do this).

    On the expired issue: I eat almost expired and expired. I just do.

    I just think it's sad you pay $10 for a rainbow roll...

    I guess it depends where you live because around here $10 wouldn't be too bad for a rainbow roll. I often see it listed closer to $12 and this is for your more casual sushi places, nothing fancy:(

    I have also been known to get grocery store sushi, but I usually stick to avocado or sweet potato rolls. However, I've had decent non-veg sushi from whole foods, but it's almost as expensive as going to a sushi restaurant, so it's really more of a convenience thing.

    Is grocery store sushi bad?? At my favorite local sushi restaurant there is a very cute old Japanese man that makes the sushi in front of you (if you sit at or go to the bar). At my grocery there is a middle aged Japanese woman who makes the sushi and puts it in a cooler. She will also make it fresh in front of you if you request something not in the cooler. Other than the atmosphere I can't see why one is better than the other.

    Same here. Sushi is pricey in Denver! I do think that some restaurants have better quality fish than the grocery store, but there are several in the area (Rachel and I live in the same city) that are pretty dang good for the price.

    You all have my sympathies, then...but keep buying the pricey sushi. I cannot imagine a life without good sushi...

    Pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce are a MUST with my sushi.

    I can either buy about 8 pieces for $9 at kroger, or buy the same number of rolls, including pickled ginger and soy sauce for $4 at Habatchi.. Which is in the SAME plaza as Kroger

    Earlier I had 6 eel rolls from Hibatchi for $4.

    Smear a little wasabi on there, sprinkle a little soy sauce and top it with a slice of pickled ginger.. Pop it in your mouth and your taste buds will be happy :-)
