I can make sushi!

Azusa demonstrating the sushi making process.

After spending 10 days in Japan enjoying the beautiful foods, it was time to learn for myself. Last night, I headed across to Azusa's (it's so great to go to a friend's place for dinner, when you only have to go down the elevator, run 20 metres across to the next building and then up again!) to learn how to make sushi. Azusa was a great teacher, very patient and she made it look so easy - my sushi rolls were definitely not as neat as hers.

Concentrating very hard! Perfect sushi roll!

When the cooking was done, it was time to sit and enjoy salmon and tuna sushi rolls, teriyaki chicken, mushrooms, a salmon salad and the staple Japanese drink of sake! I must say that sake is definitely not for me, far too strong. After dinner, we shared photos of our recent holidays around Asia. Azusa has travelled to so many interesting places, it makes me realise how little I have seen. So, I have some new places to add to my 'While I'm living in China' travel wish list, most notably Cambodia and Vanuatu.

The finished product. What a feast!
