When we arrived in LA we decided we should have something decidedly LA for dinner - they're not called California Rolls for nothing. Sushi is really popular in this part of the world, and there happened to be a shop across the road from our hotel. We shared a chicken teriyaki, which was delicious despite being Hollywood appropriate - it was a grilled chicken breast with rice, broccoli and some sort of sauce that did not resemble teriyaki in the slightest.

As for actual sushi, we ordered a cucumber roll (for Daniel's five-year-old tastebuds), serves of tempura prawn and vegetarian, as well as miso soup. The Vegetarian was unlike any vegetarian sushi I've ever had. It was described as 'lettuce, gobo, avocado, asparagus, pickled radish and eggplant wrapped in brown rice and soy paper.' So LA. I guess we should have known better - it tasted as good as it looks... Make of that what you will.

The miso soup was good!? Given that we had Japanese food in Japan, at Narita Airport in Tokyo, on our way to America, it was no real surprise that Californian sushi paled in comparison. Next time we'll stick to chicken teriyaki.
