Ice skating! I can finally ice skate, yehey! Nakakatakot sa umpisa, it's like walking on a floor of marbles! Buti na lang marunong akong mag-rollerskate, but it's still difficult on ice. It took me at least 30 minutes to let go of the partition for support.
Siyempre, gutom na gutom kami pagkatapos kaya ang Christmas dinner namin at sa isang "izakaya" (pub) that's got really good fish. I had "shochu" to warm up.
For starters, we have monkfish liver "ankimo", which tastes just like foie gras. In the smaller plates are raw fermented squid guts and in another, raw octopus with wasabi-soysauce for pulutan. There is also a bowl of iced, crispy, raw, sweet cabbage with a nice mayo dip courtesy of the izakaya.
My all-time fave, grilled salmon belly "harasu" with grated daikon.
Atka mackerel or "hokke" from Hokkaido. This is semi-dried and then grilled. SARAP!
Voila! Our Christmas eve dinner!
