Celebrate walking the Kumano Sanzan with raw fish, sushi. Incredibly delicious. I’ve learned not to ask what I am eating until I’ve cleaned my plate…eel.  Now home to watch the LA Dodgers play Chicago Cubs at Tokyo Dome on TV. So Japanese.

      1. This sushi looks absolutely divine… given how hard it is to photograph food, I can only imagine how much more beautiful it is in real life – and more importantly, how scrumptious it tastes! I love the photo of the three of you at the sushi bar – it nearly feels candid.

      2. The sushi bar reminded me of the terrific Netflix Japanese series Midnight Diner. Check it out. Yes hard to get candid shots which are the best. ~linda
