The presentation was... thoughtful. I rather wished that I didn't need to destroy the presentation in order to eat it. Symbolism in food... The fish could be a bit tough to bite through without causing the rice substrate to crumble, But the pieces were large for one mouthful. Flavor varied by type, but nothing was unpleasant. I also sampled some dumplings, mixed tempura as well as teriyaki. Mmm...
And I learned which end of the chopsticks to use for serving, and that it would be considered rude in Japan to deburr their edges... altogether, it was both tasty and educational. A lovely distraction from the prior week's nastiness.
