If you can’t have the city, you can at least have the food. Although it’s a little bittersweet, since I always end up comparing the food at Japanese restaurants to the one I ate when I was in Japan. I can’t believe in two months it’ll be four years since my first trip, I swear I remember everything as if it was last month.

We have two Japanese Restaurants in my city, but Tokyo Sushi is definitely my favourite. They stick close to the original recipes and I find the overall atmosphere better too. Plus we always get a seasonal appetizer, like the one in the photo above, which are meatballs  made out of salmon. My parents must hate me for whenever there’s the tiniest thing to celebrate I beg them to go there.

I had an amazing sushi and writing this post makes my stomach grumble and my eyes get teary and the cravings lift sky high. The best was the roll in the middle, which had salmon teriyaki in it. 

M y starved little brother who was still all red from the cold wind, the poor baby. 

Little bro’s shrimp katsu. My family is already accustomed to the rule: you don’t touch your food until your crazy daughter/sister took a million photos of it.

Daddy’s gyoza and my step-mother’s salmon teriyaki box. Yum!

Again daddy’s food, some calamari (I think) rings and rice noodles.

Last but never least, the desserts: matcha cheesecake and choco magic :3 

And then there’s me torturing the boy. Thanks a lot for reading and if you’re in Cluj Napoca craving Japanese food, make sure to pay Tokyo Sushi a visit. It’s worth it!
