365: The Reboot

If you follow along with my challenge, you know I'm a sucker for great sushi... well, my first night in Panama City Beach, I went in search for the best in the area. Shan Kishi Japanese Fusion was hands down the winner when I researched online or asked locals in the area. Well.. maybe I've become a sushi snob. I have to totally disagree. When I called I was instructed to make a reservation as opposed to just stopping in... so of course I did. Upon arriving, I joked with the hostess (unsuccessfully) about my luck in getting a reservation. The place was empty except for one family of four. The service was slow and impersonal. The roll selection was decent in size but almost every roll consisted of tuna. Now I'm a fan of tuna, but I also like variety in my rolls. During dinner, one of the servers (Japanese young girl) came over and asked about my make-up. Flattered, we chatted for a bit and I gave her the details on what I used. She then came back over to talk to me whenever she could. At least I got attention from that point on, but it became a little much. Overall, it was better than some places to which I travel and struggle to find decent sushi.. but I still think Orlando is hands down the best sushi I've had.
