Maki Sushi with the Miwas

Tonight Jesse and Hiroko came over to the Miwa house to eat Maki Sushi. Maki means hand, so we ate hand rolled sushi. All of the ingredients were on the table with a big bowl of rice in the middle. We got to choose what we wanted to eat and rolled everything ourself. Mr. Miwa made me a couple rolls with lots of wasabi to see if I could handle it. It wasn't too bad. I also got to try nato beans. These are fermented soy beans. I ate them in a roll. They tasted kind of sour, but it was alright. If given the choice I would not have eaten it on my own.

After a couple of hours of chatting, eating sushi and drinking it was time to head to bed. Before everyone left Hiroko and Jesse and I went downstairs to chat.

It was a great evening. I had a lot of fun eating the sushi which tasted very good because the ingredients were so fresh. Also I think that practicing English with Hiroko and Mr. Miwa was a lot of fun. They asked me some questions about English which were very hard to answer. Now Jesse and I want to have a make sushi party in Seattle. I think it will be a lot of fun.
