On Monday night, I took Charlie up on an offer he had made and a proposition I had been considering for years. This is the first time I've ever intentionally eaten meat (assuming you consider fish to be meat). It was a very interesting experience; the things I liked better tended to be the ones that were less fishy, as might be expected. I did think the eel roll was very good, but as there was only one of those for each of us, I'll need more before I can form a final impression.
The sake, however, was incredible. I'd never had an alcoholic beverage served warm before. It came in hard-to-describe (but easy to recognize) “pots” with small tea cups. It was good to be somewhat intoxicated; it helped take the edge off of the weirdness of eating sushi. After dinner I was very glad we had decided to walk rather than take the car, as there was no way I was in any condition to drive.
