I love Japanese food. I know it's a type of food, not a particular dish, but there is no way I'd be able to narrow it down -- I just love it all! Udon, Katzu, Tempura, Mochi, Edamame, and SUSHI; it's all just amazing. I love the mix of flavors and textures you can find in a single dish. Many people would assume that since I’m half-Japanese, I eat it all the time at home. However, in reality, my family rarely eats it during the year – my dad hates it (I don’t understand how he can!). Summer is the only time I get to eat all the Japanese food I want.  I think this is where my love of Japanese food began: summers spent in Virginia with my grandma. Many of my memories include her making sticky onigiri, or frying gyoza with friends on the stove .

SO, while I might miss home and home-cooked meals, one thing I'm looking forward to is finding a great Japanese place nearby (: (or learning how to make some of my own sushi!)
