Might just be me but opening that link like normal or in "incognito" gives me a "Oops we ran into problems message". This is on a phone though, desktop could be fine.

Edit: Desktop doesn't work either.

Maybe they are building this food location to remove another for an eventual entrance to a yet officially announced mt fuji coaster

It's gotta be sushi right? Also, how fresh can theme park sushi be? I don't think Disney has any local fish in any of their restaurants.

As fresh as any other sushi you get.

Odds are that you have never had a piece of raw sushi that was not frozen at one time unless you caught the fish yourself or paid an exorbitant amount for it.

The FDA recommends that most fish that is to be served raw be frozen first to kill parasites. While this is just a recommendation like a well done steak or fully cooked egg, simple market pressures and logistics force it to be adhered to more often than not.

At any rate, if you could not see the docks from your table or you did not pay something on the order of a utility bill for your 3 Volcano Rolls, there is a very good chance that what you had was at one time frozen.

The dirty little secret of sushi in is that most fish to be consumed raw in the US must be frozen to kill parasites and most tuna is cryo-frozen as well. Note that even top Manhattan sushi shrines will use frozen tuna.

The beef!!! My favorite dish in an Italian restaurant near me was always their braised beef. No tomato sauce anywhere near that perfect dish.

Aren't relative few beef dishes in Italy are served with red sauces because, generally, beef is from the north and red sauce is from the south? So there are obviously plenty of exceptions but that's the pull of the historical regional cuisine.

And I consider ground beef to be in a separate category from beef.

Sunday gravy and bracciole are two big exceptions. Hmm. Maybe my original statement just doesn't hold. lol

Plus marinara comes from the Italian marinai, meaning sailors and being from the same root as the word mariner, so it's a bit of a culinary juxtaposition having it over meat.

Thanks! I found that too. I'm just letting them know it didn't copy over correctly.

That this will not impinge on Tokyo Dining is the best news I've had all day.

Of course, it's early yet...

Do we know who will operate this restaurant?

From the linked article, "Operated by Mitsukoshi, which also runs the pavilion's other restaurants and retail areas, the restaurant will draw from nature and takumi (artisan in Japanese)."

So look for this restaurant to be adventurous for the first two months before sales aren't good enough to prompt a change in menu.. aka be dumbed down. In before the dumb down.

Slightly off topic, but not very, I sure hope they offer a roll like this one...

They have fish in the Land pavilion, that's pretty local! (I'm not saying they use it for sushi, just saying they DO have local fish!)

 

[jaxonp]

The first sucks there. The signature restaurants have decent fish though.

Fish?

Fish?

Yes lol... so does my autocorrect

 

[ChrisFL]

Back to the idea....Tokyo Dining already is their Sushi restaurant. Also, there's a LOT of Japanese food that doesn't involve fish, believe it or not.

They have local fish - very local. Like the Land Pavilion local. They source a lot of their vegetables and seafood from those gardens.

Umm you don’t want to eat the farm fish they are “growing” at all let alone raw. Plus doubt there’s tuna onsite.
