Actually, Sapporo East opened the summer of 1980 (only called Sapporo at that point, since there was no other branch yet), because I went in opening day and had a big bowl of shi-o butter ramen, at the bottom of which I found a cooked fly. I showed the waiter, he apologized profusely, carried away the offending bowl, and brought me an entire new one. It was also not the "first" Japanese restaurant in the EV after Mie. Altho I can't remember the name of the place, that same summer, several weeks before Sapporo opened, in a small single storefront on 8th and 1st next to what is now Stromboli pizza, a middle-aged Japanese woman opened her restaurant first. (At one point it expanded into a double-wide series of sushi joints, the last being Cotan). Regular sushi was $4.95, I ate there every night for a month (and she gave me free sushi on my birthday), and one night I got to watch Mick Jagger and Keith Richards film the video "Waiting on a Friend" on the steps of the "Physical Graffiti" buildings on St. Mark's Place. Sorry, Robert...
