Fuck You Sushi


I love San Francisco's Japantown. I guess the love is not returned in kind as observed by the name of this sushi bar.

Two things came to mind when I saw this and busted out laughing. One was the Austin Powers movie where there were two Japanese twins named Fook Yu and Fook Me. The other thing that came to mind was the Seinfeld episode with the soup nazi. My take is that this is the Japanese sushi version of the infamous, nasty soup nazi. NO SUSHI FOR YOU!

If you really want to mess with the Japanese, go into shops and order 4 of everything and watch their eyes in response. The number 4 in their culture is like our number 13 and it's associated with bad luck.

There used to be a FUKU noodle bar near us. Sian (aged around 10) read out the name quite innocently and we all just fell about!
