Dinner was at a favorite Japanese restaurant, Niwano Hana, 887 Rockville Pike, Maryland (Wintergreen Plaza). Due to the hot weather, dinner was shared, light fare: shrimp shu mei, crabroll sushi, kapamaki (cucumber) sushi, tamago (egg omelette) sushi, and tofu steak. Shrimp shu mei isn't even Japanese, it's Chinese food taken up by the Japanese as part of their palate. I once had a Japanese waitress in full blown kimono wrinkle her nose and tell me she hates tofu, so I guess it's an acquired taste, even in Japan.
