Tastes like chicken

I need to catch up on some posting now that I've moved on from Hong Kong to Tokyo and hope to actually make at least a partial weekend of it.

Last time we came to Tokyo, our friend Spahr said something about trying chicken sushi. I couldn't imagine anything less appealing. So tonight I went to a nearby sushi restaurant and ordered a set assortment of sushi...and I swear two of the pieces were actually chicken. It had been put on a grill just long enough to impart a slight yummy grilled taste, but make no mistake, it was uncooked. Against my better wishes, I ate both pieces. And it was delicious. (We'll see if I'm saying the same thing tomorrow morning...)
