The weekend





This Saturday I went to the cooking class, which was a lot of fun and we learned how to make two types of Japanese sweets: Manju and some other whose name I forgot. Both of them were very sweet, but quite delicious.
The master chef also made some similar sweets, but in much more challenging shapes, like mushroom and a lotus.
In the evening, my host family took me to kaiten sushi for dinner, which was amazing. The favorites of the evening were hotake (muscle) sushi and the salmon. But I have to say that the uni (sea urchin) was also quite good and reminded me of custard. Although it was about 10 times more expensive than any other one there.
Afterwards we went to the onsen (hot spring), which was quite relaxing.
