Like I said within the intro, I had a massive craving for it and also someone I know from a gaming studio mentioned that he went for Sushi within Vancouver. Why not go downtown to a normal Japanese restaurant? I wanted my little punch card stamped out so I could get a free Miso soup next time. Going downtown, this is closer. Next time maybe.<\/p>\n<p>I was also going to go to the Anime Store &#8211; AnimeStop &#8211; But my hunger nearly made me faint in the bus. Due to the time being close to the store&#8217;s closing time I thought it be better to just snack on Sushi today and head over to the Anime store tomorrow to see what I might pick up.<\/p>\n<p>I ordered up some medium sized Sushi &#8211; Ebi Maki &#8211; and asked what drink the cashier would recommend. I obtained some &#8220;Fuze refresh &#8211; Banana Coconut&#8221; drink.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/October\/SSPX0588.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"361\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(Link &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/October\/SSPX0588.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">MySite<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/October\/SSPX0591.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(Link &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/blogpics\/October\/SSPX0591.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">MySite<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Hmm, decent quality from my cellphone camera&#8230;..I&#8217;ll stick with my Sony W-170 when taking any images :).
