Trivia
[For Everyone] A national sushi always fighting for top sales alongside salmon at Taiwan conveyor belt sushi chains (Sushi Express, etc.). Putting aside if real lobster is in it, tobiko's popping texture and Taiwan mayo's violent sweetness combined with vinegared rice creates narcotic addictiveness once eaten.
