Sushi art

Wow, the sushi guys at TJ Asian Bistro on the corner of our street have really outdone themselves. We kicked off last weekend with dinner there and were served these plates:

OK, they haven't outdone themselves on the Sashimi Regular yet (nothing can top the flashing, color-changing LED lights embedded in crushed ice). But the baby's breath IS frozen into a standing sheet of ice. Pretty intense.

They've certainly outdone themselves with the regular old sushi plates:That is seaweed, drawn in a brown sauce. (I had to make these pics black-and-white because the sauce is brown. It looks delicious in person, but low lighting + iPhone photos did not convey the tastiness.) And as you eat the California rolls...
You uncover a fish! The bubbles were done in green sauce. Not sure if everyone would like seeing a fish while eating fish, but I was too overwhelmed by their artistic ambition at the time to mull that over.
