I had sushi for the first time in my life, finally overcoming the fear that raw fish might somehow make me sick. I went to Annapolis, to a place on Main Street called Joss Cafe and Sushi Bar.

I had a salmon roll and a California roll with crab. Both were very good. I also tried a little portion of a tuna roll. I had sake with my sushi, figuring I had to try that too, and it was terrible. It tasted a bit like wine, and as I found out, it should. Sake is a form of Japanese wine.

At the very least, I now know I like sushi.
