My husband (then boyfriend) introduced me to Sushi. I’m a Midwest girl and sushi isn’t necessarily abundant in the center states. The first time he took me out on a sushi date he ordered the famous spider roll… and told me he was eating spider. The thought made me gag a little but I powered through. The second time we went out for sushi- I was hooked and the rest is history. Sushi is now one of my favorite foods and my husband and I still love to go on sushi dates. Of course when I do food photography I eat by myself, I guess you can say my “date” is Mr. Nikon. David will be very upset when he sees that I went to Bamboo Sushi located in SE Portland (SE 28th) with out him. It was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S! I enjoyed every little bite. I was so excited about taking photos of these beautiful rolls (and OF COURSE eating them) that I forgot to write down what I ordered. I know I ordered Spicy Tuna, a classic favorite. The other roll was one of their “specials” and it was amazing… I wanted to lick the plate. I refrained. My cocktail had gin, mint and cucumber- again it was so pretty I didn’t write the official name down. (Clearly I failed this time as a food critic- lucky for me this blog is all about the photos.) The cocktail was very refreshing and I was happy I went with one of their specialities rather than ordering my usual dirty martini. I have to mention that Bamboo Sushi prides itself on sustainability, fresh ingredients, charity and the list goes on. It’s an amazing company- too much to mention in this here blog so I’ll direct you to their website where you can read all about it. Bamboo Sushi’s Website. Needless to say if you’re a sushi lover this place will blow your mind- I can’t way to go back. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Beautiful images. I love the salt on the edamame and the photo of the girl through the greenery.
You make me want to eat my screen. I LOVE all the super close up shots!
Yum! Sushi is so wonderful, I’m happy you became a fan!
I love the edamame shots – something about the four beans just hanging out with the salt on top…it’s very cool.
Awesome captures! I am adding Bamboo Sushi to my list of “need to visit” 🙂
these are fantastic! love the one with the girl.
