YES I ate ALL of it! "Make-your-own-Sushi" is a great dinner party idea for a group of friends. All you have to do as a host is prep the veggies (bell peppers, scallion, radish, cucumber, marinated Shiitake mushroom, pickled asparagus and ginger). Dan and I agreed that once we have an apartment with enough room to host a dinner party Sushi will definitely be on the top of our list. It is a lot of fun to make your own rolls while drinking a good Japanese Beer!
