Sushi party

I made three kinds of sushi

・salmon, cucumber (Not BC roll)

・Tomato, Flesh basil, Mozzarella Cheese

・avocado, culb meat(fake)

This is my first try to make BC roll.

I was little worrying about weather good or bad.

But after cooking I got confidense.

Japanese cuisine recipe3

Today’s Japanese cuisine is "BC rolｌ".

Actually "BC roll" is not Japanese traditional style sushi.

But taste is so nice,and looks beauriful!

Ingredient

・Sushi race : See the link below

http://japanesefood.about.com/od/sushiforbeginner/r/sushirice.htm

Tip:You should choose Japanese ,China or Korea rice.

Because those kind of rice has stickiness.

It's really fit for sushi rice.

・Seaweed sheet

・Sesame seed
・Your favorite Ingredient
Recipe

１．Put seaweed sheet on "Makisu".See the photo below.

２．Spread sushi rice on seaweed sheet evenly.

３．Sprinkle sesame seed on the rice,put rap sheet on the rice.４．Turn it over and put ingredient on the seaweed sheet.５．Roll it from the edge. Once or twice, grab the roll tightly,ajast the shape.

Today I used Tomato, Flesh basil, Mozzarella Cheese.

I think using uncured ham or smoked salmon instead of seaweed sheet

also makes good combination.

Toronto Jazz Festival3

I had precious time.

At first, I went to Greek Town to watch

trio named "Sultans of String"

They played Gpsy Jazz like a Django Rheinhardt.

Their parformance were really variety and flexible.

Next, I watched New Orleans Jazz band

"Preservation Hall Jazz Band"

I've never seen this style of Jazz.

I must have been given power or something special by them.

I thought when I'm getting old I'll never stop playing music.

Thank you!!

Everynight famous musicians are performing here

For example,Marcus Miller,Maceo Parker,McCoy Tyner,

Kenny Garret ,and John Pizzarelli.

This noon, I watched "Rob McConnell Tentet"

It's no charge consert.

This group performed "Big band style" Jazz.

They played some standard numbers.

I was greatly touched by their smoky sound.

Dancing

I went to salsa dance club with my homestay family.

Even though I've never ecperienced that kind of dancing,

I really enjoyed.If I have spare time,I'd like to take

a dance lesson.Besides music was owesome.

The music genre called "Reggaeton"is popular.

Last year,It also became popular in Japan too.

I might be into it!!

My guitar

It's been a while.

I brought my flamenco type guitar to here in Canada from Japan.
My guitar's brand is called "Camps" made in spain.

It's rare brand in Japan.
I bought it about two years ago in Osaka.
And then I changed my picking style from using flat pick to

using finger, also I was getting to be interested in acoustic nylon

strings sound.

The top is made of solid spruce wood. Side and back is made of

rose wood. And fingerbord is made of ebony.

My favorite!!

Japanese cuisine recipe

Thanks for visiting!!

At first I’ll introduce Japanese cuisine named ”Sunomono” and its recipe.
Why I introduce? Because my current homestay family really like it!
Sunomono are vinegared dishes in Japanese cuisine. Su indicates vinegar
in Japanese.

But I think Sunomono that I introduce today isn’t traditional style.
I recomposed the recipe and made my own style.
See the list below.

Ingredient
・Cucumber
・Sea weed( Japanese name ”Wakame”)
・Small shrimp
・Noodle: Note You must choose transparent one. Maybe it comes

from China. Japanese name is“Harusame”
・Vinegar soup
200 ml vinegar
1 tsp sugar
8g soup stock melt in 750 ml water

Recipe
１．Slice cucumber 1mm thickness ,mix with a pinch of salt, and leave it
for 1 hour.(salt down)
２．Scald small shrimp, noodle and cool them down
(by Rinsing with cold water)
３．Mix vinegar, sugar, soup in a bowl and cool it down
(by using refrigerator)
４．Dish up 1,2,sea weed and pour the soup(3) before eating.

Good luck!
