Sushi Lover Profile – Krystal

This week’s Sushi Lover-Girl is Krystal from Tolleson, AZ. 

  

 How long ago did you begin eating sushi? (years, months, weeks?) 2 years ago.

 

 How were you introduced to sushi? Went with a friend to a sushi restaurant.

 

  Did you like sushi the first time you tried it? No, I wanted to spit it out.

 

 If not, when/how did you start to like it? I tasted the spicy tuna and thought “this isn’t so bad.” I went again with a friend and had the spicy tuna and liked it. By the fourth time I was hooked. But I ultimately learned to like a variety of sushi when I lost a bet to a friend and had to buy a sushi meal. We ended up with about $80 worth of assorted sushi so I had to eat a lot of different types.

 

How often do you eat sushi?  2 times a month  How often would you like to eat sushi? Once a week.

 

 

What is your favorite (or favorites) sushi? Spicy tuna! I’m starting to like raw salmon as well.

 

 

 What is your favorite sushi restaurant? Kona Grill in the Scottsdale Fashion Square. Why? Because they have Reverse Happy Hour and I can get ½ price sushi rolls late in the evening.

 

 

What is your most memorable sushi experience? Spending $80 on a sushi meal. See answer #3.

 

 

 Where is the most unusual or exotic place/city you’ve eaten sushi?  San Diego, right on Mission Bay. It was the most fresh sushi I have tasted, and there were plenty of sake bombs to go around…

 

 Have you converted/introduced anyone to sushi? Yes.  How many people? 2
