Orlando, FL - Sushiology; Many sushi restaurants can offer the same fare, making the options and flavors ubiquitous. Sushiology gets an extra star for creativity and a unique option.  This is a very small establishment with only about 3-4 tables and a feeling of a look and feel of  a "fast-food joint".

I started with the Takoyaki (dumplings with octopus). They are lightly fried with a golden brown shell, but maintaining a very soft inside. The octopus inside, however, was only one little piece, barely enough to taste it.  It needed a little more meat. however, the interesting part of this dish is the salmon skin on top. I've never had it before and the texture is in its own category. It immediately melts and shrivels up in your mouth, similar to the texture of cotton candy, but not the same flavor.

Onto the bonito half roll and escolar nigiri (white tuna). Different from other places, you can order half rolls give you an option of going cheaper and just for a snack. The brown rice has that nice earthy graininess to the roll.  The white tuna was fresh, nicely cut, and a smooth flavor.

I thought the dispensers for soy sauce was creative, old coffee containers.  It's a creative usage of materials.
