I had a Japanese dinner night with friends a couple of weeks ago.  We ordered a big dinner combo from Banzai Sushi in Richmond and then made the rest of the dishes.  I love Banzai because of their GIANT portions.  However, they use a lot of rice in the sushi rolls.  So a little bit is enough to feed a lot of people.  The combo we got was around 35 dollars.  My favorites are the chopped scallop sushi, salmon sushi, house roll and california roll.  This was a lot of food for the price.  Oishi!

Here is a picture of the oden that we made~  My friend is a super cook~  We had a lot of fun making the other dishes.  Hope we can find time to do it again!  The oden was super great. It was pretty easy to make.
