Making Sushi and Enjoying Life (Japanese)
(Japanese) My grandfather was an oil painting artist in Japan. As I make sushi, I wonder if I might have inherited his artistic sense of color. When I’m making sushi it’s interesting, but also really thrilling. I enjoy making sushi, anticipating how the end result will look.
