February 12, 2021: An All Stargate Blog Entry!

February 6, 2021: Sushi, Suicide Squad, and Super Bowl Pick!
Akemi discovered a new sushi source this morning. A former chef who used to work at one of our favorite restaurants in town has started his own sushi-sashimi delivery service, sourcing his fish from all over Japan and serving up some truly spectacular meals. Our bentos arrived, beautifully wrapped. Unwrapped. Akemi ordered the sashimi omakase.…
