Goin' to Gochi

Tucked away in a small strip mall in Cupertino, CA is a Japanese restaurant called Gochi.

A typical Japanese dinner consists of several appetizer type dishes that everyone shares. These are served over an extended period of time so that people can talk at their leisure. As you would expect, the pace is slower than a typical American restaurant, and most meals last 2-3 hours.

I took a picture of the sashimi (raw fish) that we ate with gusto. At the top of the picture, you can see what is left after a fish has all the meat cut off. Down below, to the left, and behind the leaf, is that fish's head. I kept staring at it all night. To tell you the truth, I didn't like the way it looked back at me.
