A New Look For Austin Sushi News
If your email program renders HTML well, you may notice how awesomely beautiful Austin Sushi News now looks. If your email program renders HTML poorly, you may notice that Austin Sushi News looks like a half-assed poser of a newsletter. If your email program doesn't render HTML, you may notice a jumble of HTML crap immediately following the text and perhaps a few spurious tag elements scattered about.
We sure hope that your email program renders HTML well, but if you're having problems reading this month's edition, we hope you'll be able to read this sentence so you know that we want to know about any problems. Send feedback to webmaster@austinsushi.com.

Tanoshii Reborn
We were puzzled, and just a little worried, about the recent closing of Tanoshii, the sushi bar located in Round Rock across from Dell Computer. A few phone calls later, we found out that the owner had sold it and the new owner is in the process of converting it into a more "traditional" sushi bar.
The new sushi bar may or may not be named Tanoshii. It should re-open in early December.

Outsourced Sushi At Whole Foods
We couldn't miss the new sushi offerings in Whole
Foods' deli case. Their previous mix of simple vegetarian and (mostly
cooked) sushi have been replaced by a full line of raw fish nigiri
and other standard sushi bar fare.
It turns out that Kikka Sushi, a California-based corporate sushi giant that
employs sushi chefs in various cities to make sushi at Whole Foods stores, now
has employees in Austin. Every morning, those employees make sushi inside the
Whole Foods stores and place it in the refrigerated deli section.
While we here at Austinsushi.com are always somewhat suspicious of raw fish being
sold in supermarkets, at least we know that the fish never sits around in the
deli case for more than a day. One excited Whole Foods employee pointed out that
they get to take home any leftover sushi EVERY day! Woot!
