This and all over sushi

During the summer vacation of the second grade of elementary school, J, a junior high school student from the United States at that time, came to my home for homestay. Unlike now, foreigners are still rare, and even if they become Americans, I think there was still a tendency to ask for signs alone. When I walk with J, I feel like a tickling feeling that I can increase my value. "Yes, J is coming to our house from the United States."

The summer vacation of that year was something special for me. (I have my own house) I moved from Saitama to look up at the buildings in Tokyo, I went to Kyoto and Tottori for the first time on the bullet train, drinking a non-delicious green tea bottle on the bullet train (it was a taste of disgusting my face), and in the dunes, it straddles camels. Eating chewing gum, a sweet American souvenir that is not found in Japan, enjoying the regrets that balloon gum, which was said to be inflated by anyone, and in the memory that it was sunny every day, J until it became black I think I was going to the pool with you. The summer vacation like such a dream has come to an end, and it's time to send out J with family and relatives. At the end of August, the night was a bit chilly. Combined with the sound of insects, it makes me sad.

The last dinner was a feast of hospitality. In response to my mother's saying, "There is a sushi delivery today," I certainly said, "I don't want to eat sushi." In my child's heart, I think, "What do you say for a treat?" And the feeling of "I'm not happy to eat sushi (I'm sad to say goodbye)", I don't understand the taste of sushi. I remember eating a meal that leaves a little tears.

Why do you remember these events clearly (like a poem)? Why can this memory be clearly stated that he is a second-year elementary school student and not a third-year student?

I read Mr. Hiroki Higashi, a critic, wrote this. "The adult world is full of 'repetitiveness'. Everyone lives on the idea of another opportunity if this is not possible. If you can't get a vacation in summer, you can take a vacation in winter, or if you can't go to the sea this year, you can go next year. (Omitted) However, the deception is exposed to the child. The third grade of elementary school and the fourth grade of elementary school are different. I can't recreate my childhood friend, and I only have a junior high school entrance ceremony once ..."

Yes, I thought. Life is short. And it's irreversible. However, I usually forget it for both mental health and treatment. When we grew up, we said, "When was that? I can't remember even three or four years ago."

However, it is. It was in 2020 that this changed completely. The world was covered by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was an event that took away the repeatability. There are different points to be careful about before and after 2020. The way of life is different. It's true for adults, so how important it is for children.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been completely working from home, and we have refrained from eating out as much as possible. Under such circumstances, the Yanone Sushi Nihonbashi Main Store, located in Nihonbashi Muromachi, has become a take-out and delivery service (delivered by Mr. Itamamae).

Picking sushi on-site may be since childhood (mostly eating locally). In a sense, the on-site style, which was special to me, has suddenly changed to a daily style to be recommended after 2020. You don't need to be prepared to go through the curtains.

Kuniko Mukaida said, "No matter how much you like, it's not delicious unless you feel clear. On the other hand, even if you feel a little disturbed, delicious food is still delicious. Either way, there are two flavors, the taste of food and the taste of life. "

Yanone sushi is generally good from the first volume of "Negitoro", which I first stretch my chopsticks. I think it's good to the end whenever I eat it, even if I'm busy or feeling tends to be blocked.
