Yet another reason to be our friend: we throw really elaborate parties, even if it’s just for a person or so.

Last weekend we had a bit of a sushi blowout. We also invented a new flavour: asian pear! It’s really good in sushi – a beautifully sweet little crunchy-crunch in the middle of the tangy roll. We watched anime (Tekkonkinkreet – really good!), drank (pink!) sake and had organic miso soup with udon floating around in it – and also had strawberry bubble tea (which isn’t Japanese, but I sorta think it’s perfect with sushi anyways).

Our theory is that it’s cheaper and more fun to do this at home than go out.

And it is.
