Hitsumabushi looks like it's made of eel pieces, but ours were just eel filets in two halves. And I'm not sure if it was grilled, though it definitely had that delicious eel bbq sauce. <br /><br />The taiko club was awesome! It's only six people, and they're all like 30 - 50 year olds who just love doing it. They were super friendly even if I couldn't understand everything they said. They were very supportive even though I was new at it and couldn't communicate perfectly. They showed me a routine they did and said (I think) that it'll be my graduation exam before I leave in July. We'll see if they were just being nice or if I really can make that kind of progress.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966843723848035002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9815743119521862.post-18179391967761543212010-04-13T23:36:01.657-04:002010-04-13T23:36:01.657-04:00So exciting!

I`m sure it will be a great way to make friends. <br /><br />Is it hitsumabushi that you ate? If you like it you should have some if you come to Nagoya! Here there is a specific way of eating it (you mix the last of it with tea), so there are several places that deal specifically in hitsumabushi. I love eel. I think it is what roasted dragon would taste like.Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13573101048315896975noreply@blogger.com
