National Chopsticks Day 2024

There's a Japanese restaurant in Saint Andrews I used to frequent. Now I only make it there intermittently. Inakaya Watanabe is run by my friend Ryo San and it is a good place to go for authentic Japanese dishes — in addition to Asian fusion and other international specialties as well.

When I go there I typically don a pair of chopsticks and go to town. There was a time when I had less facility with them by and large but that was then and this is now. I can now eat any manner of sushi or sushimi in the best traditions of The Ginza and what's more, it's food I sincerely love and enjoy.

Chopsticks have been in use since about 1200 BC and they are a staple of Asian cusine and utensils I pride myself in being able to use deftly.

If you enjoy Japanese food as much as I there is a place for you at the sushi bar and in Japan sushi means community. I once would never do much speaking while eating but nowadays I jump right in there and participate.

I plan on going back there soon to enjoy those dishes I miss so much.
