Last night (New Years eve) we went to Kuniko's friends house for dinner- more amazing food. I ate raw chicken- yes raw- apparently it is sashimi grade (very fresh) chicken- which included raw thigh and gizzard- I ate them both- the gizzard was sort of crunchy- very odd. As much as I love raw fish, I think I prefer chicken cooked. The top picture below is the raw chicken. We also made sushi which was sort of a joke- traditionally at home you make hand rolls but never nigiri sushi- there is a reason, it is very dificult- apparently you go to school to become a sushi chef- now I see why. We also ate a hot pot with duck which is in the picture below- really good.

Happy New Year
Yesterday we went Asakusa (a town in Tokyo) to visit the Sensoji Temple with Kuniko's dad. It is a combination of a Buddhist temple and Shinto Shrine which apparently a common thing here.
