Great sashimi platters for openers

with many, many more platters of wonderful Japanese food......

We had plenty to eat and

 drink!  About 40 bottles of Asahi Dry and a couple of bottles of red wine. Shelley has learned to be a great beer drinker.

The older generation, yes that's right, we are in the older generation.

The youngest generation.

Hiromi has taught us all to go, "Oh no!" and touch our heads.  Little Canede can do this when she wants to.

The Nakanos send you peace and love from Nagasaki, Japan
