Sushi

Sushi brought to you by Hao ^^; dunno if it’s legal to call it sushi as any Japanese would kill me if they knew I’ve been messing with their food >_<
Today I received some very good news, the video-game that we published some months ago — Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles / 時空五行風水大戦 — was featured at gamesTM, a huge UK-based magazine and I had a chance to look at it today. Really neat and professional.
Was originally going to write a photo article about it today but since I was so happy we decided to make sushi. Was excited from both making it and eating it that forgot about the time and ate too much sushi. Ironically enough, Instant Ramen should be all about food an less about all the other stuff I write about, so to make up with you guys I’ll be writing my own How to make Sushi guide later this week, but promise you won’t tell any Japanese cuisine connoisseurs or Japanese friends!! ^^;; one reader even openly complained about my lack of food-related posts on his blog!
Tweeted 「sushi 食べ過ぎちゃった」 earlier today and someone asked me what it meant. Might as well post a few Nihongo lessons around here too:
- 食べ (tabe) means “to eat”
- 過ぎる(sugiru) means “too much”
- ちゃった(chatta) is the informal of しまいました(shimaimashita) which means “carelessly”, “accidentally” (something like “I accidentally the whole internet”) in this context
It’s hard to explain but (in this context, remember!) is used mostly for bad stuff. So the whole thing, 「sushi 食べ過ぎちゃった」 becomes “I ate too much sushi…” in a bad sense. If anyone else can help me explain better please comment below!

Tasty~
Looks tasty to me and way better than any attempt i’ve made!
Congrats on being featured in gamesTM, that’s awesome! Best cross-format games magazine out there in my opinion. Is it featured in the latest issue? i’ll keep my eye of it as my subscription lapsed in January :(
Thanks!
Yeah, when we were told that we were being featured on the magazine I expected a very short article, but it’s a full 4-page review! I was reading the issue yesterday and I’m amazed at how this magazine rules and how US-based magazines suck so hard and are so skewed.
It’s the March issue, #81 (latest is #82), besides our interview there’s also an interview with the creator of Sonic (Yuji Naka) and how money manipulates game reviews, besides our article the magazine is definitely worth a pick! I’ll be writing up about it later this week here.
(BTW, I can’t open your website ^^)
appearance wise quite ok, how it taste like?
lucky i still remember 食べ since smart.fm include it in japanese core 2000 lesson1 XD
Taste was great ^^ ingredients were top quality, my best one so far I think!
日本語がんばってくれ！
ありがと ハオさん
私はがんばってです～
I’d hit that!!
I mean..eat that ;)
Congrats on the Mag feature!!
you can NEVER eat too much sushi…. <3
I seriously thought that that one time that I ate 48 pcs and then 52. But since I don’t eat many carbohydrates since a couple of months ago you can pretty much guess what that amount of rice did to me this time =(
