SEATTLE STEAKHOUSE HAS BEEF WITH ICHIRO

SEATTLE (Wireless Flash) – The Seattle Mariners’ newest star, right fielder Ichiro Suzuki, is helping more than his team – he’s responsible for a huge increase in Japanese tourism. In fact, one American-style steakhouse hopes to cash in big by offering an Ichiro-inspired menu. Fleming’s Steakhouse of Seattle is offering an Asian-style steak and chicken skewer dish called “Area 51” – which is what Mariners’ fans call Ichiro’s section of the outfield. In addition, the restaurant hopes to hit a home run with something called an “Ichi-tini,” which combines vodka with sake and is garnished with a pearl onion and a tiny plastic samurai sword.
