They have the funnest thing in Japan called a purikura. It's a big, fancy photobooth! You stand inside and take the pictures on one side of the booth, and then you edit the pictures on the other side! It is really fun, especially with a lot of people. Here we are editing our pictures. We all took turns and add something to them.

| The finished product |
They bought us to this uniquely Japanese treat called haiyaki. It's basically a fish-shaped waffle with your choice of filling. Yummy!
Mine had this brown sugar mixture and mochi inside.
THEN... We went to the store...
Just OCTOPUS in the meat section. But we didn't buy it, we got the salmon eggs instead.
... And bought ingredients for SUSHI! Our friends were very experienced sushi-makers. They made the sushi rice, and then we got to roll it!
This is how it is done:
Step 1: The Rice
Special sushi rice with vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Step 2: The Other Stuff
Cucumber, tuna, salmon, salmon eggs, scrambled eggs, and avocado. Extra avocado on mine. :)
Step 3: Roll it Up
When you roll it, you actually squeeze it into a square, not a circle. It just falls that way later.
Step 4: Cut it into little slices!
Yummy!!
The purikura also photoshops your picture. It airbrushes your skin and even makes your eyes bigger!
