Japan comes downtown!

Here is a pic of our Japanese Christmas feast of mainly sushi and other Japanese delights including plum sake. As we had a roast with our neighbours just before Christmas we thought we would try our hand at making sushi. As you can tell by the centre pic there is an art to making sushi. That was my first attempt at sushi rolling and I did not read the instructions properly and made a massive roll of rice with the seaweed just attached to the outside. Still it was tasty, we had mostly vegetarian with some freerange, organic teriyaki chicken as sushi ingredients. The best was the California roll - our stylee, with avocado and chicken with Japanese mayonaise. Ashwin was enjoying the festivities as well and he had his own little surprise rice balls wrapped in nori - he loved taking them apart and ended up being covered in sticky rice :) We enjoyed 2 bottles of white wine as well - our favourite being the Californian Gewurztraminer.
