Sushi! おすし

Last weekend, we braved the torrential rain to try some very fresh seafood in the nearest fishing village named Shiogama 塩竈. The city is inundated with sushi restaurants, and the one where we had our lunch (I cannot remember the name) proved well worth visiting despite our rain-soaked clothes.

There, thanks to Miki, we even got to try the very special shrimp which lives in the local delta area where the cold and the warm streams meet. I did not know a raw shrimp could taste so sweet! We were instructed to eat EVERYTHING, including the head which was lightly flamed and crunchy like chips!
