Farfly: Goldfish swallowing in the U.S. was in the '60's if I recall my history correctly. If you're talking about larger sized fish (or even lobster) still squirming when the knife's put to it -- well, some restraunts in Japan do that (and have been for a long while -- how else are you going to make sure the sashimi is fresh 
).
Ookamikawahara: I agree (as you can see in my first post here). I'm giving Mima the benefit of the doubt as being a) young, b) historically ignorant, c) erm...ah...best not touch that one (show's my experience and bias towards some folk).

Yeah noticed the first post and same reaction from reading his/her post. Oh well, worst comes worst we can always serve them a nice plate of Fugu !!!!! By the way, love the dancing Neko you got at the bottom.
For everyone else it ain't traditional if it ain't fresh and raw. Been to markets over there where the fish are still flopping around in the packaging, which shows how fresh the catch of the day is. Also grew up on Pike place markets, The lady from Ballard wants a fish, the lady from Ballard wants a fish lol. Flying Salmon, only way to have it.

Can I ask someone with some knowledge to explain 'giri' to me? I used the concept in a fic a while ago, and now I'm worried I may have b******d it up and offended folks (not my intention)
This seems like a thread to throw this out into, for some reason

No prob, it depends which meaning of giri you used. The noun, giri by itself means to have a debt or obligation. This is usually a very serious debt that you owe someone. The other form of giri is when it is combined with another kanji character (remember we are talking about the Japanese language here) the orginal meaning is kiri which is the verb form to cut, but when you add another kanji to it, it will become giri.
Examp Sanpogiri (a form from Iaido) lit transalate as walking cut. So hope that helps you out with your question.

Okay. How about the one with slightly sweetened scrambled egg on top? (Tamago nigiri-zushi)
Or how about the rolls with just cucumber (kappa maki),
pickled gourd (kanpyo maki),
pickled cucumber (shibazuke maki),
pickled Japanese radish (oshinko maki),
or sushi rice (with or without bits of carrots, green beans, shitake mushroms) inside a "fried tofu pouch" (aburage)?
There's futo-maiki with a slice of egg, kanpyo, sometimes takuan (pickled Japanese radish), carrots, sometimes shiitake mushrooms, and maybe a couple of other vegies.
There's also an egg-wrapped version of the futo-maki, using a thin layer of egg to wrap everything in (I couldn't find a picture of that). You could always go for the Korean-style (watercress, with the other things inside a futo-maki) or Hawaii-style (some have thin slices of teriyaki meat inside, or SPAM [quit shuddering, it's actually not that bad!] inside) maki-sushi.
Sorry, for the size of the pictures. I claim no power over the size.

I like the tamago - does that make me a bad person? It's the only way I like scrambled egg. Otherwise - has to be an egg fried in butter, with fat chips.
I like tsukemono too. And I just found a place near me that sells umeboshi.
