Day 7

 Today was really all about food.

It began with a journey to a fish market...or what I thought was a fish market. I mean, there was fish, but there were other things that people were buying as well. Kerry and I even bought some bowls with kitties on them as well as a cute owl figurine. Other folks were buying ice cream, and Lawson's was quite crowded with people buying food as well. The fish market was insanely crowded. But it was enjoyable! At one place, I bought salmon sashimi, and at another I tried sea urchin and the tastiest, biggest oyster I've even had. They told me to squirt some lemon and soy sauce on it, and it was perfection. 

Later on, we went to a sushi-making class, which was a lot of fun. We learned how to make negiri and rolls. The negiri were of all sorts: tuna mayo, salmon, asparagus, and even hamburger with a little ketchup. And what was fun was that we got to eat it all at the end! 

We went back to the hotel to rest a bit after the class. Then, it was time for another meal: a "goodbye dinner." We were taken to a barbeque place where we grilled our own steak, potatoes, a "pork belly" (as Kerry called it), and rice. What's interesting is that they served the rice to us LAST after we ate all the meat first. 

Once the dinner was dinner, we had to rest up for our trip the next day.
