TOJO'S

SO I JUST GOT HOME FROM THE BEST JAPANESE SUSHI MEAL EVER!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE A SHORT POST JUST BECAUSE IM FULL AND IM TIRED :) IF YOU DONT KNOW, TOJOS IS HIDEKAZU TOJO RESTAURANT HERE IN VANCOUVER. HE IS CREDITED WITH THE CREATION OF THE CALIFORNIA ROLL AND THE BC ROLL. WE WENT THERE AND GOT THE OMAKASE, WHICH IS THE JAPANESE TERM FOR "I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU." SO WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT OUR MEAL WAS GOING TO BE BECAUSE WE LEFT IT IN THE CHEFS HANDS. WE BASICALLY LEFT IT TO THE CHEF TO DECIDE WHAT TO SERVE US. IT WAS DEFINITELY AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. WE DIDNT KNOW WHAT WE WERE GOING TO GET AND AFTER EACH DISH IT JUST MADE US WONDER WHAT WAS NEXT. I SORTA LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY COURSES WE HAD BUT AT LAST COUNT IM PRETTY SURE IT WAS ABOUT 12... YES!!! 12 COURSES!!! HAHA. I WOULD LOVE TO POST ALL THE PICTURES BUT THAT TAKES TOO MUCH TIME THESE DAYS SO YOURE GONNA HAVE TO FIND MY SNAPCHAT AND INSTAGRAM FOR THE PICTURES LOL. LETS SEE IF I REMEMBER ALL THAT WE HAD:

1. SASHIMI SALAD - SUPER FRESH AND OMG!!!
2. ASSORTED TEMPURA - SUPER LIGHT AND FLAVOURFUL 
3. OCTOPUS SALAD - THE TAKO WAS SO SOFT AND NOT LIKE REGULAR CHEWY
4. SPOT PRAWNS - PERFECTLY COOKED SO THE HEAD WAS GOOEY
5. WOOD SMOKED FISH - SMELLED SO GOOD!!! TASTED EVEN BETTER
6. LOBSTER ROLL - JUST LIKE IT SOUNDS :) CLASSY ROLL 
7. 5 CHEFS CHOICE SUSHI - BEST PIECE OF BLUEFIN TUNA I HAVE EVER HAD!!!
8. FISH ROE ROLL - SO MUCH WASABI!!!
9. 2 OTHER CHEFS CHOICE SUSHI - WHOLE SCALLOPS AND SMOKED SALMON
10. TOJO ROLL - THE REAL CALIFORNIA ROLL WITH REAL CRAB MEAT
11. GRAPEFRUIT JELLO - SUPER REFRESHING
12. SOME SORT OF PLUM ALCOHOL DRINK
13. AND LOTS OF SAKE IN BETWEEN :)

WELL I GUESS PICTURES OF ALL THE FOOD HELPS IN REMEMBERING. IVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MEAL FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF I THINK AND IT DEFINITELY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. WE EVEN GOT A PICTURE WITH THE MAN HIMSELF. IF IT WAS BECAUSE OF A WORK THING, I DONT THINK I WOULD HAVE GONE THERE FOR A WHILE. BECAUSE IT IS SO GOOD, ITS ALSO REALLY EXPENSIVE. THE INTERIOR LOOKS REALLY NICE, LOTS OF SERVERS AROUND, AND A MIDDLE SUSHI BAR WHERE YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING BEING MADE. IF I GET THE CHANCE AGAIN I WOULD DEFINITELY GO... ITS MORE OF A SPECIAL OCCASION PLACE. UNTIL NEXT TIME :)

REST OF LIFE... SAME OLD, WORK, HANGING OUT. NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN THE WEEK. OH I DID GO TO PLAYLAND FOR THIS THING AND IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. HUNG OUT WITH THE FAMILY AND EVERYONE ELSE, ATE, AND THEN WENT TO THE HORSE RACING TRACK TO EAT SOME MORE. I HAVENT BEEN THERE IN YEARS AND IT WAS FUN. END OF THE DAY AFTER BEING UP AND DOWN, I LEFT ONLY BEING DOWN $10, WHICH WAS REALLY GOOD. ITS JUST A DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE. NICE WEEKEND ALL TOGETHER. NOW TIME TO GO SLEEP. PEACE!
