I love watching my husband try new foods. Here’s how he went with trying a “chef’s choice” of sushi in a Kyoto sushi restaurant. He also decided to try some hot sake (rice wine). He isn’t putting on much of an act, he’s just a very expressive guy.

The sushi

The challenger

Inspection for wasabi

Herring roe…tasty?

Not so much

What IS that??

Not impressed

This needs extra sake to drown out the taste

Ech!

Moving yellow sushi into the “bad” pile

Hm…what next?

Time to consult the chart

Removing wasabi

How bad can it be?

Abort! Need sake!

Ew, sake

Ebi sushi okay?

Difficult to eat…

Hmm…

Not bad!

Sea urchin…tasty?

Eating the cucumber half first

Time to sake up in preparation for the urchin half

A tentative taste of urchin

Huh?

Eurghh…

Choices…

Tuna time

Eh?

Mmm…it’s okay

Finishu!

No thanks to you, yellow sushi

*glares*

*sigh*
