The World's Most Expensive Sushi

Attention Sushi lovers, how does Sushi at $100.00 per bite sound? You’d have to have serious Sushi fever to cough up $200.00 for two bites of the ‘Ferrari Jewel Bako Roll’ at Taro’s by Mikuni in Sacramento California, but it does include Beluga Caviar, Smoked Salmon, Kobe Beef & a sprinkling of real gold flakes so you really do get everything you need, protein, carbs and minerals that would also work as pretty good roughage (pretty being the operative word here). Now if you are one of the peasants that think Sushi is just Sushi you seriously need to expand your taste horizons. In fact you could start at ForbesTraveler.com with a glance through their guide to THE WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE SUSHI. It comes as no surprise that ‘Masa’ in New York tops the list at $800.00 for a meal. That particular Sushi sanctuary has been creating a buzz since 2005, wowing Sushi devotees with the extraordinary creations of Chef Masa Takeyama. Once upon a time for the priciest and the freshest Sushi you would have to be willing to travel to its country of origin, but not anymore. Sushi Fever has spread across the globe and judging by the recent Forbes list, the bank breaking raw fish is worth it if you want to go to Sushi heaven. Have a squiz at the fabulous slide show over at Forbes Traveller. Of course now that we are all turned on to the glories of Sushi, we find that the worlds Tuna stocks are rapidly depleting. Perhaps someone should tell the Japanese to stop eating so much of the stuff and leave some for the rest of us?
