Today Nhu took me to Sushi Fest ! We had tons of fun, ate great food and I can't wait until next year to go again!
ヾ(｡･ω･)ｼ
There were two parts to the festival, upstairs were the concession stands/food vendors; the different stands were different local Japanese restaurants, sushi and hibachi spots.
Downstairs in the arena area was the entertainment and merchandise.
Besides eating, there was a live band, I didn't know them but my friend Dom knew of them! There was other entertainment like dancers and a stilts performer! Some other companies had tables set up to sell merch like Kawaii Nola! (if you remember that post I did ages ago lmao)
What everyone really anticipated was the raffle drawing on the trip to Japan; Nhu bought 5 raffle tickets but still didn't win
੨( ･᷄ ︵･᷅ )ｼ
she didn't expect to but still . . . we were sad for a few seconds lol
this is the dancer, she was in a box above the bar
And here's the lady on stilts! She saw me taking a picture of her and decided to strike a pose! (this was so cute ^^)
I had to visit Kawaii Nola's booth and I wanted to cry everything was so cute! I didn't get to take a picture of the clothing they had ;;
aagggg I want a bento box but Nhu said "you don't cook what's the point" so I felt discouraged but tbh I didn't reeeaally need it so~
I've wanted sushi socks for so long but I passed on them ( I slightly regret this)
Nhu wanted the totoro with the no-face mask but she didn't get it either
But here's what I did get!
they're so cuuuuute ヽ(´ω｀○)ﾉ.+ﾟ*｡:ﾟ+
Now onto the food
The first roll we tried was the "Black & Gold roll"!
- shrimp tempura, cucumber, kani, baked with spicy mayo, crawfish and scallions, Tsunami & tsurai sauces
This one was one of my faves! I love crawfish and any sushi with spicy mayo is great to me!
Next was the "Bonsai BBQ Pulled Pork"
I don't remember what everything is on top but it was also good!
I do remember that it was marinated in sake though
We spotted a table that had a lot of food but the line was entirely too long ! I wanted to try the "Herro Kitty Bento Box"
( that was literally the name they had on the banner) but we sneaked a picture of it!
the festival was from 2 to 5pm and we stayed the entire time, so around 4:30pm there were no lines and the booths were knocking the prices down so we went back to this booth. They had plenty Herro Kitty boxes left but I changed my mind and Nhu wanted to try the Pikachu Roll but they were sold out :((( however she was able to try their Honda Roll
Then we tried a "Crawfish and Seaweed Salad"
It was really good! I questioned why was it cold but then I remembered it was a salad, it's supposed to be served cold lol
After that, we tried "Crab Meat Ravioli"
holy shit this was so good ( like , the bomb dot com good)
I wanted a second bowl but I was down for the count and full as hell
Nhu bought the "Cajun Sun Roll"
It had raw tuna on the top so I had to pass on it
And lastly we had dessert! Cake balls!!!
- the yellow is "green tea", the orange is "sriracha" and the blue is "red bean"
The red bean and green tea were so good ! I let Nhu have the sriracha because I was too afraid to try it lol she said you couldn't taste it really but I think she was trying to trick me !
I wish I would have tried more sushi but I was so full after the ravioli and cake I couldn't even think about eating again . But I'm glad I got to try all of this yummy food!
Do you guys like sushi? What's your favorite roll or sushi spot?
I want to try more~~
