miscellaneous rambling

We had the fortune of eating at a very good sushi bar in Sapporo. Our friend Tetsu took us, and our friend Noriko ( both of which had flown from Kyoto and Tokyo, respectively just to join us for a weekend in Sapporo)

Tetsu is a man who knows his sushi. He did all the ordering. I lost count after a dozen different kinds of fish, over half of which I had never seen or tasted before in the way it was prepared. Everything was brilliant. The picture here is of raw fish testes. I didn’t even know that fish had them, but as Tetsu-San said, “Well, boy fish, girl fish. makes sense. No?”

It tastes like very very soft tofu, and the soy and fresh onions take away the fishy taste. It was pretty good.
