Memorial rice cracker

I attended a wedding ceremony of a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago and this heart-shaped rice cracker was a small gift from the bride and bridegroom at the banquet. Of course it was the first time for me to see the heart-shaped rice cracker! I sketched it on the 10th July, 2009.

Three escargot shells

It is not very common to eat escargots in Japan but I really like them. My wife found the frozen escargots on sale then she purchased. I cooked paella for dinner yesterday and the escargots were served with paella. So good. Sketched three shells out of six on the 7th of June, 2009.

Ayu

ayu070610

We call this freshwater fish "Ayu". Someone calls "sweetfish" in English but I'm not sure this is universally known. Scientifically, Plecoglossus altivelis.
These are raw; before cooking. I didn't have time to sketch after cooking. ;) Sketched on the 10th June, 2007.
