My wife took her parents out for a Christmas dinner today and we let her dad choose what we would have. Of course he chose sushi so we were off for sushi again tonight. The restaurant was out in Sakura and was very full for Christmas dinner so we reserved a private room ahead of time. A wonderful Christmas dinner Japanese style!
It wasn’t all sushi as we also had kaki fry (fried oysters) and each person had their own personal tori nabe (chicken hot pot) cooking right in front of us.
But mostly it was about having sushi.
My sushi above (toku-jo plate), had very fresh ikura (roe) and uni (sea urchin) as well as a piece of chu toro and oo toro (fatty melt in your mouth tuna). And it came with a very tasty side chawan mushi (steamed egg custurd) topped with a hint of yuzu. A great meal but wait until you see New Years!

I would love to have a feast of that type of food rather than turkey.
