Do you like sushi?
What is your favorite food? When asked, I reply, “I like sushi”. Many people like sushi. Sushi is now available in cities all over the world, but I still think Japanese sushi is delicious. Today, I’d like to recommend my sushi lunch.
LESSON7：Recommended Sushi Lunch
Hi, Chen-san. I passed the exam I told you before. Thank you for visiting to pray the god of study with me last month.
Nǐ hǎo, chén xiānshēng. Wǒ tōngguò kǎoshìle. Gǎnxiè nín shàng gè yuè lái yǔ wǒ yīqǐ qíqiú xué shén.
你好, 陈先生。我通过考试了。感谢您上个月来与我一起祈求学神。
Konichiwa, chen-san. Konoaida ohanashishita shiken ni gōkaku shimashita. Sengetsu wa gakumon no kamisama ni issho ni omairi ni itte itadaki arigatōgozaimashita.
こんにちは、チェンさん。この間お話した試験に合格しました。先月は学問の神様にいっしょにお参りに行っていただきありがとうございました。
Congratulations! That’s great, Machiko! I’m really happy for you!

おめでとうございます！よかったね、まち子さん！本当によかったね！
Thank you very much. I feel relieved, so I went to a sushi lunch to reward myself.
Fēicháng gǎnxiè. Wǒ fàngxīnle. Wǒ qù chīle yī dùn shòusī wǔcān lái jiǎnglì zìjǐ.
非常感谢。我放心了。我去吃了一顿寿司午餐来奖励自己。
Arigatōgozaimasu. Hotto shitanode, jibun e no go hōbi ni o sushi o tabe ni ikimashita.
ありがとうございます。ホッとしたので、自分へのご褒美にお寿司を食べに行きました。
Ohhhhh! Looks delicious!
Ó! Kàn qǐlái hěn hào chī!
哦！看起来很好吃！
Oh, oishi sō!
おお！美味しそう！
This is Zeitaku-don (a luxury rice bowl) from a restaurant called Nihonbashi Tsujihan. I recommend it!
Zhè shì rìběn qiáo shí bǎn cāntīng de háohuá gài fàn. Tuījiàn!
这是日本桥辻阪餐厅的豪华盖饭。推荐！
Nihonbashitsuji han to iu o-mise no, zeitakudon desu. Osusumedesu!
日本橋つじ半というお店の、ぜいたく丼です。おすすめです！
The price isn’t too high, so I’ll give it a try! Thanks for letting me know!
Jiàgé yě bù guì, wǒ kěyǐ shì shì! Xièxiè nǐ gàosù wǒ!
价格也不贵，我可以试试！谢谢你告诉我！
Nedan mo taka suginaishi, itte miru yo! Oshiete kurete arigatō!
値段も高すぎないし、行ってみるよ！教えてくれてありがとう！
Delicious way to eat “Zeitaku-don”
Finally, here are some of the delicious ways the restaurant recommends eating it. (1) A bowl of rice and sashimi is brought to the table. (2) The bowl is really beautiful… (3) Pour soy sauce over the entire dish and enjoy two thirds of the deliciousness! (4) Add the sashimi from the blue plate to the bowl and ask the restaurant staff to add tai dashi (sea bream soup stock) to the bowl.
These are the recommended ways to eat it, but they say you can eat it any way you like! Tsuji-han’s website is here. The restaurant seems to be located in Taiwan as well as Japan!
