Course 1: miso soup broth was very interesting, edamame were pretty good, but I think I liked the seaweed salad better.
They brought me a blackberry mango drink. It was pretty amazing and tasted like something I've never had before.
Course 2: this course I didn't really care for. Baked green mussel was the first thing I tried but I didn't like it. Oyster I didn't get to really try all the way, because it kept on falling out of my mouth. The tuna tataki was my favorite in the course, it was a little spicy around the edges because of the pepper.
Course 3: Nigiri course. The Ebi (shrimp) was my least favorite, the Unagi (eel) was my favorite out of all the courses. The sauce was the best part. And the rice. The eel had a very amazing texture. The sake (salmon) was also pretty good.
Then I had a great pina colada that I liked even more than the blackberry mango. It had an orchid flower in it which I gave to my mom.
Course 4: Maki course. The spicy tuna and AZIA roll I didn't get to try because I was too full, but the California roll was pretty good.
But I did have enough room for dessert, which was a pineapple boat. It was just pineapple with a sword stuck into it. The manager told us that the Japanese always have a light, refreshing fruit for dessert. It tasted very fresh.
I met Bill Summerville who came up with the idea of the Junior Gourmet Club. He has a restaurant called La Belle Vie. Also I met Jennifer Knoch who has a cool blog called Jen on the Radar. They asked me questions but I didn't have enough time to answer because I was too busy tasting the food.
It was the biggest meal I've ever had! I'm excited to go to the next Junior Gourmet Club.
