Suma Sushi, Amsterdam between 107th and 108th

A trip to Suma Sushi was Meryl's and my idea of a way to stanch our abrupt cessation of hormones (following a scary article in the New York Times) and our attempt to quell our interior saunas.  Our goal was an infusion of tofu -- which we know offers a decent dose of phytoestrogen.  We were not disappointed.

I ordered an appetizer of Agedashi tofu, which were a half dozen squares of silky tofu lightly fried with bonito flakes, ginger and scallion and served with a teriyaki dipping sauce and an order of Hijiki salad -- cooked black seaweed with chunks of tofu.  The tofu terriyaki Meryl ordered covered her plate with at least a dozen squares of tofu, flash fried and crisp.  A sweet teriyaki sauce covered the golden squares of tofu.  We each thought we'd be bringing half our meal home -- but finished every bite.

We both look forward to returning and trying other dishes on the menu!
