there's a really small sushi place that just opened on bellevue ave. it's next to the city market in cap hill. tried a couple things and they were fantastic, espectially the Dynamite roll. Grab a menu and call in the order for future ref. oh it's called Sushi Maki. yum!

In a telephone interview from her home in Portland, Ore., Ms. Le Guin said: “Mr. Miyazaki’s movie won’t be shown as long as the Sci-Fi Channel people sit on their rights, which they have until ’09, unless they decide to stop being a dog in the manger.” Representatives from the Sci-Fi Channel did not respond to calls seeking a comment.

Quoted: Goro Miyazaki's first movie, the animated feature “Tales From Earthsea,” is the hit of the summer in Japan.

along the west side (i think) of Uwajimaya (Seattle) there's a little ramen shop called Samurai Noodle.

With a name like that you'd think the soups would be good.
And they are!
Tried the pork broth and it's ridiculously delicious.

they also have a fish broth served hot or cold, a chicken one, and a soy one w/ seaweed. some gyoza on the menu too.

mmm mmm!

i got this ~

as sung said, great visuals. sassy costumes, pretty people, and most importantly - great hair. based on an old anime.
