Kaetta (I returned)

Okay, that was a ridiculously long break from blogging here, but that's just life sometimes. For those of you whom I have talked via FB, LJ, or, the phone (yes, the phone) I have probably already sufficiently updated you on the events in my life, but for those of you whom I have neglected, I will provide a quick run through of the past few months of my life.

Since my last entry I have gone to Japan (as indicated in that last entry), spent all of my savings (in Japan), took the JLPT 2, gone to some crazy job interviews, successfully landed a job from one of those interviews, adopted a cat, received my first smart phone as a Christmas gift, traveled around the bay area, restored some of my savings, started receiving student loan bills, gone shopping for various things, and naturally eaten a lot of food. Delicious photo worthy food that I have been saving for my return to my blog.

And so, without further ado, the entry of the day - sushi.

Right across the street where my boyfriend and I live is a strip mall with various stores, including this sushi place with the ridiculous name of Cha-Cha Sushi. It's pretty small and we weren't sure if it would be any good or not, but this restaurant had some of the best sushi rolls I'd ever had. Yes, some of their creations were not traditional at all, but all the ingredients were fresh and delicious and they didn't charge me a fortune to have unagi (eel) with one of mine. The staff was also very very nice. Now I know why that place is always busy (it is one of the highest rated sushi places in San Jose, CA on Yelp actually) and Matt and I have already been craving to go back.

Strangely enough, despite it being one of the most naturally photogenic of foods, I do not seem to have any other recent photos of sushi. I guess that is simply a testament to how fast I usually eat my sushi, especially if it is coming from a boat or a conveyor belt. I will try and take more. But for now, another culinary surprise will be revealed when I update (no long breaks this time!) tomorrow.
