Supper, Thursday night at my Brother-in-Law’s home
- Homemade Tekka maki (tuna roll), Salmon maki, Kappa maki (cucumber roll) with avocado, and “sushi explosion” (my Brother-in-Law’s name for the “everything” roll)
- Shrimp soup with various vegetables
- Nigiri sushi: Sashimi (raw fish), which included tuna, yellowtail, and salmon (as I recall), on white rice.
- Pickled ginger, wasabi, soy sauce
On our recent visit to Seattle, My Brother-in-Law made sushi for dinner, which is his specialty. He does a great job, and we enjoyed this meal thoroughly. In general, Sashimi takes a little getting used to for the Western tongue, but it is one of my favorite corners of Asian cuisine.
I am also a huge wasabi fan, particularly mixed with soy sauce. I love the effect that it has of making the back of my head and my sinuses feel like something has gone horribly, horribly wrong – and then just as quickly it goes away. 
The shrimp soup was not bad, but not the best we’ve had – but it was just the luck of the draw today. It was a ready-to-cook fresh mix that came from a local Asian market. It was mostly vegetables and fresh shrimp, which were good, but the fish broth didn’t have much flavor.

I’m not a big fish lover and have never tried any raw fish like this. Im pretty sure I would chicken out with trying it. Looks good though.

Nice presentation! You are lucky to have a brother-in-law who can make sushi.
The soup looks yummy as well. If I sat at the table, everything would be gone in five minutes.
@Robin: Yep, it is not something most of us here try on a regular basis. But once you get into it, it is kind of addicting!
@Sadao: I definitely agree. He loves to make it, and we love to support that.
