"Yes You Can"sushi

Sushi, sushi, and more sushi. That's the ultimate cuisine for all foreigners visiting Japan.

And if you're American, hungry for sushi, and looking for a boost in patriotism (for whatever the reason may be), you've obviously landed in the right spot.

Here we have it. The "Yes YOU Can" hand-rolled sushi.

And yes, it's edible! And no, it has no skittles-like artificial color. All made with fresh ingredients, it's the ultimate sushi for all you Americanos!


President Obama has got to be blushing somewhere. The color of his skin here is made of small shrimp, boiled in soy sauce. The black hair is black sesame ("kurogoma"), and the white teeth is minced and steamed fish ("kamaboko").


Here, the master (Mr. Noboru Kawanobori, president of Tokyo Sushi Academy) is designing the American flag. Tuna fish for red stripes; squid for the white stripes.


The most important element in creating these artistic hand-rolled sushi is the balance and placement of the each ingredient before rolling them up.

"The quality of taste is as important as its visual beauty. After all, it's food, right? The art of it all is complete only after it is eaten with satisfaction!"

You didn't think sushi could "change" the world of cuisine? Time to think again!
