It was a very eventful first week in japan!! On, I think, my second night here, I went to eat out at a sushi place. It was very intimidating, the menu was handwritten, and I didn’t understand a lot of the kanji. I went in anyways, stumbled through an order ( i got a standard array). I could watch the chef making the sushi right in front of me, and he would reach over the bar to put it right on the plate. Down the bar there were some friends catching up and it was fun to listen to the bits and pieces of japanese which I could understand. Mostly they were talking about their daughters and moving!
Anyways the sushi was great!! I had octopus with rise for the first time since I as five and I remembered how much I love it! It was super yummy and the best meal I have had so far while here!
