Spinach Gomai.
Some of the eel sushi is cooked (ask) and is very nice.
If they have a shitake (mushroom) and crab salad of any kind try it.
Sukiyaki beef is very nice.
Try one piece (just one) of the salmon or tuna sushi; you won't be the first surprised convert.
Enjoy.

Unagi is the Japanese word. It is almost universally served barbecued, with a delicious sauce. My absolute favorite...

crab or salmon shumai - dumplings stuffed with...

tsukune - chicken meatballs

gindara kasuzuke - broiled fish marinated in sake paste.

tempura - fried stuff

kabocha - steamed pumpkin in fish broth

or try "bakayaro" -- I forget what exactly it is but your waiter/waitress will certainly know.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

Unagi is only one of the types of eel served; I believe it is the seawater type, but the freshwater variety is also very good.

Unagi is the freshwater variety, Anago is the saltwater variety. But I totally agree - they are both very tasty.

I bow low to your culinary knowledge.

I can claim no real culinary knowledge. I can only claim that I don't like to cook and I live very close to a cheap Japanese restaurant

Oh man... I forgot about Negimaki. Next time you get it, ask them to use Asparagus instead of the scallions. SO delicious!

The secret to good Japanese food is in how it is served:

I suggest you do not say this to waitress unless you want to be served hot miso soup poured over your head! (assuming she is japanese)

MUST be cooked? awww, damn.... you're missing all the good stuff then!!!

I used to work in a Japanese/Korean place, so here's a few of my suggestions for cooked: anything tempura, salad with ginger dressing, eddamame, gyoza, shumai (shrimp is yummy!), fried oyster rolls, cali rolls, salmon skin rolls, smoked salmon, anything with fresh/saltwater eel. If you want to do something raw and have it cooked, ask the server if they could tempura batter the whole roll and fry it up. IE, if you like cooked salmon, get a raw or smoked salmon roll and ask them to batter the whole thing and fry it up in the seasame oil fryer in the back kitchen. MMM.... yummy!

Also, for dessert, try the weird flavor ice creams. I didn't know what I was missing out on all these years until I tried green tea ice cream! It's really smooth.

Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)

Thanks everyone.

I had a great night out. I could probably get used to Japanese food - some loverly flavours. I even tried some 'Uncooked stuff' - but preferred the Tempura and noodles.

The Green Tea ice cream and Rice Dough were excellent.
