I was introduced to sushi in Vancouver. I love it, as long as it is without fish or other sea creature.

My favorite is an avocado roll. Last night, GC and I went to a new sushi restaurant. We ordered gyoza (pork dumplings) to start, then I had an avocado roll and tamago (egg omelet sushi). GC likes to order the Chef's Choice sushi and sashimi plate. And, for the first time ever, I tried some raw sea creatures. I had a bite of unagi (eel sushi) and the non-salmon sashimi (being chef's choice, we rarely know exactly what is on GC's plate). It was a white fish that I tried. The unagi tasted like the sea, sort of salty and briny and fishy. The white fish sashimi tasted like fish, but not overwhelmingly so. I'd never order either one on my own, but if I were served either, I could eat it. Probably.

I also drank some sake, which I've had before, but this one I liked. It was infused with Asian pear.
