Japanese Sakura Festival

Fun in the sun at the Japanese Sakura Festival. Luckily someone got our tickets beforehand so we skipped the 30 minute queue!

Takoyaki!

 

The best macaroons I've tasted so far!

Very talented origamist

This girl pressured me into wearing a yukata!

Lunch! Shoyu Ramen

The cutest little girl wearing a yukata!

Makoto Japanese Restaurant

My friend, Kelvin, is one of the fussiest people I know, food-wise. So when Kelvin says a restaurant is good, it most definitely is!

The restaurant actually turned out to be really close to my old house. It is very small and there was only one harried- looking man behind the counter. The food was sensational!

Tuna Tataki

Scallop Rolls and Salmon Mango Rolls

Omu Raisu

I followed a rice omelette recipe from Japan. I added brown rice, fried seafood and mushrooms and cheese to mine. Delicious!

Kiku Sushi Restaurant, Metrotown

I ADORE Japanese food! My friend and I decided to go to Kiku Sushi last Saturday. I learned that kiku is Japanese for chrysanthemum.

I can't say enough about this restaurant! Everything I ate was amazingly delicious! I've been dreaming about the tuna tataki for a few days now. I can't wait to go back there!

Gomae! The best, and most delicious, way to eat spinach!

Agedashi tofu. Another one of my favourites!

Tuna Tataki: a new favourite!

Baked Scallop Rolls

Baked Sashimi

Hi Kumi!:)

Not bad for a first attempt. I'm going to have to try it again sometime.
