Sakura Tokyo Horror!!!!!!!!!
Aug. 4th, 2004 08:23 amI decided to order takeout sushi last night, from Sakura Tokyo.
I called up and ordered, from memory, my usual pile of stuff (enough for two people)-- 4 orders of avacado maki, 2 tamago, 2 inari, and an order of ume shiso maki for good measure. The order-takin' guy seemed to handle it all okay.
When I got there, the woman who was there to greet me and give me my food said, "Ah, you have an old menu, yes?"
"Uh, I don't have a menu at all. That's what I usually order," I said.
"Well! We have changed our menu! Some things aren't on the menu any more! Don't worry, we made it for you anyway. We still make it, but it's not on the menu."
She started messing with the computer, finishing up my order, and I picked up a new menu and glanced through it.
With growing horror, I realized that my worst fears were realized. I scanned the list of maki, and then looked through it closely. Surely I was mistaken. Could it be true? Line by line, maki by maki, I searched, but in vain. There was no other conclusion I could reach.
Avacado maki is no longer on the menu.
With despair in my heart, I made my way home with what may be the last avacado maki ever. EVER. I devoured them, savoring every bite, knowing that it could be the last ever feast of avacado maki from Sakura Tokyo. Sure, I could go to Fugakyu, but it's so far away. If I just feel like some cheap veggie sushi in the evening, it's kind of a haul. My one-time favorite cheap sushi place has abandoned me.
Why would they drop avacado maki? Did I not order it enough? It's been a few weeks, but still! Surely I was not the sole eater of avacado maki in Worcester! I know Jer ordered some! And I ordered enough for three or four people every time I went! It's my favorite thing! EVER! And now, now I am lost without my cheap avacado maki.
Pardon me while I weep.
