Viral: Netizens react as NASA astronauts share photos of 'space sushi'
Image credits: X/@JonnyKimUSA Food cravings can lead to some unexpected actions at various times. While the most one thought of doing to satisfy a food craving was making or ordering it online, it seems there are more efforts that can be made. Recently, NASA astronauts aboard the ISS made sushi in space for a crew celebration and to cheer up a crew member who was missing the Japanese dish. Jonny Kim, a NASA astronaut took to X to share the information through a post, writing, 'Space sushi isn't quite the same as the fresh stuff on the ground, but it's not bad! We had a crew celebration recently, and one of our crewmates expressed how much they missed sushi (as do I).' 'So we collected and pitched in our personal supplies of fish, spam, and rice, coupled with a dash of gochujang and wasabi, which made for a great meal', he added. While the astronaut revealed that sushi in space does not taste the same, the dish did wonders for their happiness and mood in the limited space and ingredients. Additionally, he also shared how meals worked in space. Due to a very obvious lack of gravity, astronauts place tape on the dining table with the sticky side facing up. This helps them attack food, utensils and condiments to the surface, preventing them from floating away in the ship due to zero gravity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Social media reactions Image credits: X/@JonnyKimUSA People were happily surprised to learn of the news that astronauts made sushi in space. "sushi in space made with love and floating condiments honestly feels more michelin than microgravity. humanity really carries flavor wherever it goes." wrote an X user under the post. "Space sushi sounds epic even if it's not as fresh 😂 I wonder what's the most challenging food to make or eat in zero-g?" wondered another. Many users wanted the astronauts to try making other dishes in space such as Musubi, a Japanese rice ball dish. In contrast, others were inquisitive if certain items like seaweed sheets and kimchi were allowed in space. "Jonny are you allowed to have kimchi on the ISS or is it illegal because it smells too much? Or does smell not work the same in space?" inquired an X user. Some even suggested better puns for the space-made dish, writing, "Space-sushi….. Spushi? 'Spooshy' and "You could have made a joke about using StarKist tuna. Such a nice pun just laying there."

Restaurant in former Dee Felice space flies you straight to Hawaii with 1 dish
Highly Recommended is a weekly spotlight on some of food writer Keith Pandolfi's favorite finds as he eats his way across Greater Cincinnati. Come back every Tuesday for more. Musubi is one of life's great pleasures. The "sandwich" of sticky rice stuffed with a thick slice of grilled Spam and wrapped in nori is a staple at barbecue joints and convenience stores in Hawaii. Its salty-sweet flavor makes it a satisfying midday snack, no matter where you live. Instead of a snack, I ordered it as an appetizer ($4) during a recent lunch at Kealoha's Kitchen, a mom-and-pop restaurant owned by Valentino "Val" Abafo, who grew up in Oahu, his wife, Amy, and their three kids. The restaurant started as a food truck before opening a small spot in Latonia that the family relocated to the former Dee Felice space in 2023. If Spam isn't your thing, try the lacquered chicken teriyaki (Val makes the sauce himself) with sweet notes of pineapple, or the Keola Pig – tender, smoky pulled pork. Or opt for the sauteed garlic shrimp, the lightly fried mochiko chicken or the pineapple teriyaki short ribs. Order your protein as a bento box ($12), which comes with a scoop of sticky rice. Like a lot of restaurants, Kealoha's Kitchen has been struggling in recent months. In early January, they closed for two weeks to regroup after sales decreased by 37%. The closure and a plea on social media led customers back. It would be nice to keep that momentum going. At a time when mom-and-pop restaurants are hard to come by, Kealoha's Kitchen is something special that's worth hanging on to. Kealoha's Kitchen, 529 Main St., Covington, 808-217-3070, Hours: 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday. Closed Monday.
