*until i finally get the chance to visit japan lol.
i worked at a sushi restaurant for 5.5 years to help put me through school and i just lost it with 2 days notice :/ not looking forward to temporary unemployment but more importantly, not looking forward to braving the real world without free sushi 5 days a week, sigh. here are some meals from over the years- unfortunately it’s adjusted my palette and i surely won’t be able to afford the quality that i was eating before for the time being, not to mention free sushi is the best tasting sushi. wish me luck ☹️

Good luck 🤞
You got me .
looking at some of this mess, the just mess of it, every possible surface covered with for no apparent reason… it’s just not good
Something about a free temaki just feels so luxurious to me. I’m sorry for your loss.
I truly believe that every setback is gearing you for an epic comeback.
I wish you the best on your next journey and I look forward to you posting your Japan trip on r/japanpics
You got this, boss.
I did 12 years at a sushi bar. I thought the same when I left. You’ll find a spot because your cravings will get the better of you. And there are high quality, reasonably affordable places out there, you just gotta find em.
Good more for us…
This is tragic, I’ve been there as in used to get free a5 wagyu sushi 😔 it’s never the same
Try making your own!
We work so that we can afford sushi
Kiwi fruit? Makes me wonder how legit this sushi place you worked at is
i feel you. couple years ago my husband also worked at a sushi restaurant and would bring free sushi home. no more free sushi was the worst part of him losing that job 😭
I can relate, I also worked at a sushi restaurant for years and was good friends with the chefs. I ate like a king. Bluefin and salmon belly all day. Now you’ll have to accept the reality that it was the past. Paying for it is not the same :(. It’s more just a treat now but I miss eating it almost everyday. No more negitoro handrolls mid shift. Hard to appreciate something like this fully until it is taken away. You will survive. I feel for you
Click bait? Really? Fu
I have been traveling for work for past 20 or so years on expense account. I have ate tremendous amounts of free sushi/sashimi on expense account. For one two year project every tuesday the client project sponsor and I would eat at the same japanese place. They have a roll named after me and I feel like I funded the owner’s kid college fund. Client loved when my steak and potato boss flew in since she loved to force them to eat sushi. Basically sit at counter and the chef/owner just served us stuff. Get a non itemized bill with just a number at the end. Almost every project find a decent place and became a regular.
Every time I return from japan I cant bring myself to eat anything japanese for a few months. The sadness and outrageous price difference
Can you use your experience there to get a job at another sushi joint?
