Short Orders (Fujiyama)
Sushi in Brookfield
Three
years ago, Fujiyama opened in West Allis (2916 S. 108th St.). The
strip-mall location offered two options for dining: a hibachi table
(for a Benihana-style experience) or the dining room with a full menu
and sushi bar. Fujiyama has now opened a second restaurant, this time
in Brookfield (17395-D W. Bluemound Road, just west of Calhoun Road).
This location isn’t as large, but it feels more elegant with a
beautiful sushi bar made of dark wood. The menu is as comprehensive as
the original, with a few items that are scarce at other local Japanese
restaurants. One is hotategai, a nigiri sushi of raw scallop with a
buttery texture. Then there is a tongue twister named usuzukuri. This
is a plate of raw slices of fluke (fluke is a type of flounder) served
over a bed of ponzu sauce. Each slice has a tiny dab of hot sauce,
making for a unique Japanese dining experience. Beef negimaki is
comfort food, a thin slice of meat wrapped around scallions and then
broiled. With the addition of Fujiyama, the restaurant scene in
Brookfield continues to improve.

Although separated by an ocean and multiple time zones, the Australian Outback bears remarkable resemblance to the American West. Both encompass mesas towering over rocky, dusty deserts shimmering like a mirage under unforgiving sunlight. Whip-snapping co
It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
