Sushi

What else is there to say - Japanese sushi is better than American sushi, although most of the fish is imported. Here is the sashimi plate from our first night's welcome party.


Here is a sushi rice bowl I had for lunch one day.



Here is toro sashimi --it was absolutely delicious.

 A sushi platter from a restaurant near our hotel. Notice the toro (upper left), the crab (lower right) and the special roe (between shrimp and crab). It was good - and would be even better if I could remember the name.




 Here we have takana- the nigiri that looks like uni in the center - it is cod roe--saltier than either tobiko (flying fish roe) or ikura (salmon roe).
