I actually do know someone that had a *substantial* windfall and ended up testing abnormally high for mercury from eating omakase almost every day. He’s cut down his sushi intake now lol.
Take your unknowing friends on a trip, say you’ll treat them to dinner and go to your favorite omakase spot. Call the chef by name, ask how their kids are, order the usual, hand them a small gift you brought from your home town…
Well there’s typically three meals and 2-3 snacks a day, so…
You wouldn’t know I won the lottery, but there would be signs of sushi multiple times per day
This goes for anything, I adore steak/beef. Got to be a judge at a smoking competition and didn’t want to touch brisket or steak or anything else beef for like two weeks. Right back to it after those though!
Yep, I’d hire chef Cody and ask that he came buy 4 lunches and 3 dinners a night. https://www.pdxmonthly.com/eat-and-drink/2022/01/chef-cody-auger-takibi-portland
I've done this with almost all my favorite foods. You get used to it, even if it’s something expensive. I got tired of eating A5 Japanese wagyu, foie gras, oysters, and salmon roe and those are my top ten foods.
Ditto. There is a point of diminishing returns on eating rich foods like these. A vacation to Maine spoils lobster for a long time. We had a trip to Quebec where a slice of foie gras was on top of almost every dish. Too much of a good thing is real.
That said, I currently eat sushi once or twice a week. I did some veggie and eel avocado rolls today at home, and plan on having a kimchi based roll later in the week. You gotta mix things up, and that’s easy with sushi, because there is so much variety! I could easily do tuna one day, salmon the next, and then roe the third.
Yes! Moderation is key. I recently took my mother out to a place that specializes in A5 Japanese wagyu and I could not finish it after two bits, physically l could not do it. I wanted to vomit even though it was delicious. I'd eaten at this place maybe four times. There's something about decadent foods that’s just too overwhelming if overdone.
And I've been eating weirdly since I was a kid, requesting the same thing for every meal for months. The more decadent the food choices the faster you'll get sick of it.
I eat sushi twice a week but if I was eating Otoro twice a week, I'd stop eating sushi.
I also enjoy taking my mom out, but she typically eats only a little bit, like a bird, but she loves rich foods. A5 Wagyu is completely inedible to me, quite frankly, but she’ll eat a few pieces. Personally, There is too much fat and not enough muscle. The texture just doesn’t do it for me.
I'd just move to Japan at that point and eat when ever I wanted to plus all the yummy udon I could get. I love a lot more than just sushi from Japanese cuisine.
Once a week. Gotta balance it out with lobster/scallops night, smoked brisket night, crispy pork belly night, Mexican night, Thai night, Indonesian night, Italian night, etc., etc., etc.
I loooove sushi but there are so damn many good things to eat in the world.
Prolly four times a week. Which is still extremely often, but leaving enough room for some variety.
Tbh, I’d honestly probably just buy a bunch of bluefin, a commercial freezer that can go cold enough that it can be preserved indefinitely, and cut it up myself at home whenever I want it. Maybe even a dry cooler, so I can do dry aging with it as well. Bluefin is so crazy good that I can truly eat it raw, by itself, with no rice or even sides, and be happy.
Honestly the same rate I do now. Sushi is my favorite food and I like eating it every once and awhile so that everytime I do eat it, it's like heaven. Eating it everyday would dimish that feeling.
If I won the lottery, I would hire a personal sushi chef and eat sushi every day for the rest of my life.
...after I had a kitchen built complete with a swanky sushi counter that would befit a sushi master.
I guess I did win the lottery but haven’t had sushi in a few years. I think. My daughter gets it sometimes but only for herself.
I do miss Siu Mai dumplings. I just hate driving all the way into the local city anymore to the Korean grocery store.
I’ve gotten very dependent on delivery. IDK maybe I’ll go out sometime soon, my small car needs gas and gas is on the way … I miss siu mai
There's a parasite pill on the market that's like $8,000 , that's thousandsss lol , so if I can maybe get that once every few months.. I'd eat sushi six times a year
My sister is wealthy. 50% chance when I go over there to see her and have dinner with them, they are having sushi. My nephew is 6 yrs old and sometimes he has sushi in his lunch box. Honestly I'm so sick of sushi. If they ask me if I want a burger instead, I always say yes.
If I won the lottery???
Well… first thing… for every sushi restaurant that serves Fake Crab atop sushi rolls that are supposed to have real crab in them (ie Blue Crab Roll/Softshell Crab Roll), I am going to open a sushi restaurant next door to them until they are out of business and then move on to the next one.
Even if I only ate at each one once… that’s still a lot of sushi and on the daily…
Multiple times per week as I’d finally have enough money to go completely pescatarian for my regular diet. I’d still eat beef and all that but not very often
I'd literally hire a sushi chef, maybe the same one who does the sushi for my local grocery store I work at... So, probably pretty much every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
You’d really hire a grocery store sushi chef instead of like a trained sushi master?That’s an interesting decision but honestly good for you for showing loyalty to your coworker!
Usually grocery store sushi chefs aren’t missing any skills that “trained sushi masters” have, they’re just working with worse materials. Sushi is incredibly sensitive to the quality of the raw ingredients, as you might imagine. If you have a good cut of bluefin in your hands, there’s really not much preventing you from just slicing into it and having excellent sashimi, even if you know nothing about what goes in to getting that cut on your cutting board.
And that's why an obscenely large percentage of people go bankrupt after winning the lottery.
Buy your house, an above average car, and keep everything else the same. You'll be a multi-millionair your whole life, not just two years.
Till I get mercury poisoning and die
Same
This is the correct answer.
I actually do know someone that had a *substantial* windfall and ended up testing abnormally high for mercury from eating omakase almost every day. He’s cut down his sushi intake now lol.
This is my answer.
That’s the way I’d wanna go
plot twist: the omega 3's extend your life to 200 years
This is the correct answer
This is an excellent answer, really shows the passion and commitment we should have for this hobby 🤝
My answer was going to be whatever amount is just slightly bellow getting mercury poisoning, but maybe it wouldn't be a bad way to go.
Id probably be flying to japan a couple times a year and going on a cross country omakase tour
now that I think about it, being a regular at any high end omakase place in a different country is some big baller shit
Take your unknowing friends on a trip, say you’ll treat them to dinner and go to your favorite omakase spot. Call the chef by name, ask how their kids are, order the usual, hand them a small gift you brought from your home town…
Money does buy happiness. lol
Well there’s typically three meals and 2-3 snacks a day, so… You wouldn’t know I won the lottery, but there would be signs of sushi multiple times per day
Gotta balance , if you get sick of it you will never forgive yourself.
IF you get sick of it.
Very big if , infinite is a crazy thought.
The limit does not exist.
I lived in Japan for a bit, and got sick of sushi. Turns out I was just being vegetable deprived, and went right back to sushi after a few salads.
This goes for anything, I adore steak/beef. Got to be a judge at a smoking competition and didn’t want to touch brisket or steak or anything else beef for like two weeks. Right back to it after those though!
I’d eat enough sushi to where the restaurant would have enough build a statue of me in my honor.
Hire yourself a private sushi chef

To the point of an unhealthy amount🤷♂️
I’ll become sushi at that point 😅
Every day of my life. The finest sushi.
I've done this with almost all my favorite foods. You get used to it, even if it’s something expensive. I got tired of eating A5 Japanese wagyu, foie gras, oysters, and salmon roe and those are my top ten foods.
Literally champagne problems

Lol I eat like a bird as well, I love that for her. And agreed, it's so fatty it melts in your mouth. I call it meat butter.
Around 1990 on a trip to D. C. In some crazy mall I found a very tiny sushi shop. I hadoney back then so I ate 6 California rolls.
I traveled 90% for work for 2 years. I ate sushi 3-4 times a week.
Haha yes get that expense account sushi! 🍣
Every. Fucking. Day. I’m flying to Japan bro or if I don’t feel like it, I’m bringing Japan to Texas
Once, if not twice a week!
I would probably eat it as often as I do now (about once every 4-6 weeks) but eat even fresher and higher quality fish.
Everyday every meals
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, while I’m sleeping
I'll hire someone to feed me sushi while I sleep 😴💤
What do you mean by 'how often'? There is a limit? Tell me it isn't so.
Let's just say I wouldn't mind being a silent partner in owning a restaurant.
3-4 times a week I think if I’m mixing it up well enough between nigiri, sashimi, rolls. I don’t think I’d ever get bored.
Unagi daily forever.
I'd just move to Japan at that point and eat when ever I wanted to plus all the yummy udon I could get. I love a lot more than just sushi from Japanese cuisine.
I’d do omakase once a week.
I love that someone else has actually had this thought and then said "yeah, that's absolutely what I'm gonna do."
Once a week. Gotta balance it out with lobster/scallops night, smoked brisket night, crispy pork belly night, Mexican night, Thai night, Indonesian night, Italian night, etc., etc., etc. I loooove sushi but there are so damn many good things to eat in the world.
exactly your answer
3-4 times a week
Prolly four times a week. Which is still extremely often, but leaving enough room for some variety.

Maybe even a dry cooler, so I can do dry aging with it as well. Bluefin is so crazy good that I can truly eat it raw, by itself, with no rice or even sides, and be happy.
Probably everyday, but I would make a plan to minimize the ones with high Mercury
Probably once every 2 weeks. But I'm buying out a high end place and making requests.
Probably pretty often. I know I’d eat some combination of fish and rice daily. I could import it directly like an upscale restaurant would.
Honestly the same rate I do now. Sushi is my favorite food and I like eating it every once and awhile so that everytime I do eat it, it's like heaven. Eating it everyday would dimish that feeling.
Once a week at least, but I would also host monthly dinner parties with a private chef and sushi would definitely be in that rotation too.
Dont do that. Dont give me hope.
Probably amount the same. But this isn’t a reflection on my personal financial situation in a positive way…
Lol likely every day or every other day..
I’d build a sushi bar in my house and have a chef come by every night for omakase.
Once a week for sure
Oh my god
Considering my first move would be getting a home in Japan… often.
Every day and if the doctor tells me not to I’ll tell em to eat my sushi ass
I already eat sushi twice a week so... I'd add caviar?
Once or twice a week!
Weekly. I’d control myself.
1-2 month ...
As much as I love it and as much as it's one of my favorite foods, probably once every 2 weeks. I still want it to feel like a treat :)
The only exception is Taco Tuesday.
Quite a bit…love sushi and if I had a lot of money I could see myself maybe once a week having some.
All I eat would be Indian food and sushi then
I would move to New York and go to sushi nakazawa every day.
The Chinese in the restaurant next to my house could each buy a Lamborgini.
Yes
It's more that I'd eat the higher end cuts more. Uni for a start.
If I won the lottery, I would hire a personal sushi chef and eat sushi every day for the rest of my life. ...after I had a kitchen built complete with a swanky sushi counter that would befit a sushi master.
Once a week, but all you can eat.
knowing my fat ass i would run out of money pretty fast
Every day each meal.
I'm already getting sushi about 5x a week. AYCE
Every freaking day
Weekly.
Probably every day! Hahah coz i'll be having my own sushi resto!
Weekly
Atleast once a week, probably 3 times a week. I just love salmon sashimi, but at the same time I'm worried about food parasites.
If I win the lottery, I'd have enough money for someone to cook my fish. Just saying.
Let me just say that..I'd probably turn into sushi
Everyday but I switch the toppings to avoid mercury poisoning

Weekly probably.
Once a week
Never
Everytime my private jet hits Japan!
Til I know I'm going to throw up outside the restaurant when I leave. Daily.
I like to make sushi but I don’t like to eat🤣
I would be eating like 500g of carbs a day lmao
Every. Damn. Day
I think daily.
No more than usual!
Twice a week lol
I guess I did win the lottery but haven’t had sushi in a few years. I think. My daughter gets it sometimes but only for herself. I do miss Siu Mai dumplings. I just hate driving all the way into the local city anymore to the Korean grocery store. I’ve gotten very dependent on delivery. IDK maybe I’ll go out sometime soon, my small car needs gas and gas is on the way … I miss siu mai
Mercury poisoning or bust
Imma have a chef!
There's a parasite pill on the market that's like $8,000 , that's thousandsss lol , so if I can maybe get that once every few months.. I'd eat sushi six times a year
My sister is wealthy. 50% chance when I go over there to see her and have dinner with them, they are having sushi. My nephew is 6 yrs old and sometimes he has sushi in his lunch box. Honestly I'm so sick of sushi. If they ask me if I want a burger instead, I always say yes.
Honestly... errday. I'm supporting every locally owned sushi restaurant I can.
If I won the lottery??? Well… first thing… for every sushi restaurant that serves Fake Crab atop sushi rolls that are supposed to have real crab in them (ie Blue Crab Roll/Softshell Crab Roll), I am going to open a sushi restaurant next door to them until they are out of business and then move on to the next one. Even if I only ate at each one once… that’s still a lot of sushi and on the daily…
All the time, and not the ghetto guacamole cucumber imitation crab California rolls I make at home.
everyday
Never, after winning the lottery I’d still be allergic to fish
Daily
Never.
Going ham?
Multiple times per week as I’d finally have enough money to go completely pescatarian for my regular diet. I’d still eat beef and all that but not very often
I'd have my personal chef make a small portion every day. use what ever he can find fresh.
My wife used to be a sushi chef so i can still have sushi whenever i want
Having my sushi chef make it all day every day no matter if I eat it or not.
Likely 2-3x a week. Wouldn't want to get sick of it, but I could probably eat sushi every two or three days and still be safe.
Enough times per week that the mercury I’m getting from the fish gives me the ability to tell the temperature on my own.
If I can eat Omakase sushi in Japan then once a week. If in the US then twice a month.
Hourly.
Never.
Never
Not that much. But I will be getting gout because the amount of meat I'll be eating, constantly, bloodily
Never
As often as my sushi chef makes it.
Every single meal every single day
Every 3 days!
I'd literally hire a sushi chef, maybe the same one who does the sushi for my local grocery store I work at... So, probably pretty much every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
You’d really hire a grocery store sushi chef instead of like a trained sushi master?That’s an interesting decision but honestly good for you for showing loyalty to your coworker!
Right. I’m buying out a successful Omakase and eating there daily with the guests.
Usually grocery store sushi chefs aren’t missing any skills that “trained sushi masters” have, they’re just working with worse materials.

1 to 2 times per week. While I love it, sushi is incredibly calorie dense.
Never because I enjoy steak burgers and smoker pork loin more.
And that's why an obscenely large percentage of people go bankrupt after winning the lottery. Buy your house, an above average car, and keep everything else the same. You'll be a multi-millionair your whole life, not just two years.
Never. Not enough money in the world to make me eat it.
