Sushi DIY time!

So a couple of weeks ago, we attended a sushi workshop. Today, it was time to put the theory into practice, since we'd procured the necessary ingredients for making makis at an Asian supermarket at Antibes.

Trying desperately to remember the instructions from our workshop, we put the rice to the boil - cutting a couple of corners, it must be admitted (it would be good to get a proper Japanese rice cooker, I reckon...). To keep things simple, we decided to go for full-sized makis, and much to our surprise, the end result wasn't all that bad. Esthetically our makis may not have stood up to much scrutiny, the but the taste was there (including the rice). And we washed it all down nicely with some Sapporo beer.

So, quite a successful foray into Japanese cooking, then! Oishii!
