Teriyaki Shrimp Sushi Roll

Teriyaki Shrimp Sushi Rolls, the four words that won my heart over at the age of 18. It was senior year of high school and our AP English teacher announces that we have an opportunity to go meet the then newly published Memoirs of a Geisha’s author, Arthur Golden. The only catch was that we had to write an essay, as she was only going to pick 6 students to go. I write my essay, proudly turned it in, and awaited a few days to receive the news that I was one of the six students picked to go on this exciting field trip! The field trip itself was to the Morikami Museum and Gardens. At this point in my life I had never been there and I had never eaten Japanese food either.

The Big Day

So the big day arrived and I walk into the Morikami with eyes all aglow. We started out selecting our lunch from the sushi buffet. A kind Japanese woman had encouraged me to try the wasabi with the sushi. I had no clue what this wasabi was, so looking at it I think it looks like green mashed potatoes, take a few dollops, and head over to my table. We sit down and to my surprise, Arthur Golden sits right across from me. I became really nervous, started to eat, and take a big spoonful of this supposed green mashed potatoes into my mouth. Arthur Golden drops his jaw as he witnesses this, and asks, “Are you ok?” My face lights up beet-red I shake my head now, and he tells me, “You should probably go to the restroom and spit that all out before you swallow.” I ran as fast as I could to the restroom feeling like I was a dragon, breathing out fire. I still loved sushi after this experience. I also still love Arthur Golden’s books, and appreciate his help that day.
