Thursday 30 November: It's the oseibo (winter gift) season, and this fishy package arrives today by chilled courier.

Inside are two big crabs!
As we're going out for a Chinese dinner tonight, we keep them chilled until tomorrow...

Child abuse! Grown-up bunnies being molested by small children, at the restaurant in the evening.

UsaKousa deserve a large sake, and a steamed turnip cake with greens, after the ordeal.

Friday 1 December: Lunchtime. These crabs are really big. (The blue tag has the name of the ship that caught them.)

Someone's screaming with joy...

Hitomi loves the "miso" inside, scoops it all up with a spoon.

At the end of the lunch.
And there's some left for the second round at dinnertime.

Sunday 3 December: Lunch for one - final portions of the crab, left-over sushi, mizuna salad, mixed veg pickles, squid dumplings.

And now it's all gone!
