Checking out Unicorn Gundam in Odaiba

No school, just something to do, we went to see Unicorn Gundam in Odaiba. Off course very deserted due to the state of emergency, plus cold weather. Wonder when we could go see the moving Gundam in Yokohama... Geek in me couldn't resist buying those ramens... Poor thing that nobody was at the shop so I did some of my part of spending a bit of money.

Sea bream & stripe jack from Yuikou, Nagasaki

They clean the fish very well and slice them for shipping, and I don't have to clean much at home! First, sashimi, marinate them with sesame soy sauce then onto rice, and pour dashi soup over sea bream one. Bony parts of stripe jack for soup. Head of sea bream to grill with salt, together with bony part which I'd cook with rice later on. We're so full!!

長崎のユイコウさんから鯛とシマアジをお取り寄せ。切り身にしてもらったので料理は簡単。こちらは下処理がすごく丁寧で、家での下処理は殆どしなくても匂いがなく仕上がるのがすごい。まず、鯛はお刺身と皮付きは湯引きにして、シマアジもお刺身。胡麻醤油も作ったので、それぞれ絡めてご飯の上へ。鯛はさらに出汁をかけて鯛茶漬けに。シマアジのあらで潮汁。鯛のお頭は塩焼き。鯛のアラはあとで鯛飯にするので、とりあえず塩焼きにして保存しました。食べ過ぎた〜！ご馳走様でした！
