SASHIMI ANYONE? (Kanazawa pt. 2)

We wander around for a bit, and Graeme remembers he has a 1000¥ coupon for a great little sushi/sashimi bar. So there we go!

Say hi to the folks at home Graeme!



The assortment of knives the chef used were rather… sharp. Oh and the one I liked most was the baseball bat, which had a famous Japanese baseball players’ number burned into it. “55” for “Matsui.”






oh and we drank this entire bottle of rice wine vodka. We did stumble a bit on the way home.

I posted the vids we took on youtube.

“kanpaii!”

This is not working at the moment. Gomen.

“…It tastes like raw seafood”

This is not working at the moment. Gomen.


Oh and some japanese dude came in and found us, the only white people in the bar and was like "do either of you speak french" and I say "I speak highschool french!" but graeme says "yes!!! i do!!!" and he does! Graeme has gone to Quebec several times on learning adventures, most specifically immersion based experimentations. Anyways, so this french dude comes in and we start to chat with him, and hes from paris and as soon as he hears us speaking french, he wont speak french with us anymore... Parisian jerk. Our french wasnt good enough for him... you know i never knew what people had against the french, and really I might understand it now... they merely hate french people for hating them first.

the sushi chef also turned out to be semi famous... he was our age. We bonded and he fed us all kinds of treats and chunks of octopus and other raw fish... which was easy stuff after i just got over the stupid mental hump of eating exotic and alien sea-dwelling creatures.
