If someone asked me what I love most about sushi, only two things come to my mind: Music For a Sushi Restaurant by Harry Styles, and cheap, quality sushi. Although they say that money can’t make you as hot as Harry Styles, it can still buy you some good sushi—I know that might sound like a long shot, but well, it’s better than nothing.
