In the case of Hiro's, the new Japanese restaurant in Petaluma which Jeff Cox wrote about a few weeks ago in the Press Democrat, the benefit is all mine for having tried it, and I pass the joy onto you, the reader.
Most sushi bars have a raised, glassed-in refrigerated section, but the sleek version at Hiro's was sunk into the bar, making it easier to watch the three sushi chefs (including a woman, which is rare) slice and dice to keep up with their orders.
Hiro's version went much lighter on the dressing, and the thinly sliced cucumbers avoided the dreadful, syrupy end that so often befalls them.

Yamamoto is most out front in songs like "Air Raid," keeping the song bobbing along while the piano, moog, and guitar riffing pop in and out of the arrangement.
Roth gets top billing on the songwriting credits, which seems to indicate that Yamamoto and Pickerel formed around someone they thought was a talented songwriter and player, rather than deciding to form a supergroup and finding a hired gun.
