The small tremors are easily overlooked and forgotten. The more midsized tremors are frightening although much less common.
The sushi is so f&^%ing awesome that it is difficult to describe. Totally fresh, full of flavor, melts in your mouth. It is much better than the vast majority of American sushi because most Americans are not the sticklers for freshness that Japanese folks are.
I'll never forget being in a sushi bar with my American girlfriend. I ordered some shrimp. The cook chopped off the head of a live shrimp and placed the rest before me on a plate, body still wiggling. My girlfriend screamed a bit. I relished the totally fresh flavor. Most Japanese sushi is not THAT fresh but the story gives a sense of the emphasis on freshness.
