Yay, it’s time for another Hello Japan! mini challenge! I had hoped for something music related because we’re going to see Kishino Yui-chi (a.k.a. La Veuve Moustachue) & Oorutaichi next Sunday — but the actual mini mission is quite as good:
This month the task is simply to eat Japanese food, take a picture if possible, and tell us about what you ate. You can go to a Japanese restaurant, or make something at home. It can be a favourite dish, or you can challenge yourself to try something new.
Ha! I can think of several ways to accomplish my mission. For one it gives me a great excuse to buy this book I have been drewling over have my eyes on: The Decorative Art of Japanese Food Carving by Hiroshi Nagashima (thanks to sherimiya of Happy Little Bento who let the Want! Want! Want! ghost out of the closet)!
But maybe I shouldn’t give away the options I’m contemplating? :\ I could do them all! And who knows… maybe on Sunday there’ll be some Japanese snacks at the concert! :)
To all participants: itadakimasu!

Ha, heb ik zonder het te weten toch mooi even meegedaan aan die challenge door vandaag sushi te gaan eten. Ik ga niet klikken op dat boek, ik ga niet klikken op dat boek, ik ga niet klikken op dat boek… oeps, toch geklikt. :-(

LOL hard to resist, isn’t it!
Where did you get your sushi? And… was it any good?

Sounds like fun! :) I’m a vegetarian, and I don’t think of Japanese food as being particularly veggie friendly, but maybe I’ll cheat and make some vegetarian sushi. ;)

Eva, the Japanese almost didn’t eat any meat for ages because of their Buddhist religion! Of course now they do but really, there’s a lot to enjoy for us vegetarians as well! Veggie sushi is NOT cheating! And while you’re at it: make some for me? :P
BTW great websites to find Japanese vegetarian recipes (even though Maki isn’t a vegetarian herself) are Just Bento & the sister site Just Hungry.
