When I heard the sirens going off, I ran down to the harbor to see the fishermen coming in with the daily catch. \u00a0It’s always so exciting. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Fresh batch of baby sardines called “shirasu.” \u00a0It’s still alive!\"\"<\/p>\n

Then the bidding war starts. \u00a0This is the part I like because it’s like playing poker. \u00a0You have to know what you’re doing. \"\"<\/p>\n

OMG, this looks delicious! \"\"<\/p>\n

Naohiro won the bid so this fresh batch went straight to Yamari. \u00a0I followed closely behind to watch the whole process. \"\"<\/p>\n

This is what raw shirasu looks like before it’s boiled. \"\"<\/p>\n

I watched it as it got boiled and came off the conveyer belt. \u00a0I started to get hungry. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I ran into Kimura-san’s house and Atsuko-san made me the best breakfast in the world. \u00a0These fish were swimming in the ocean just hours before so this is as fresh as it gets. \u00a0Put some natto and an egg over for perfection. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Watched the beautiful sunset from Isounora Beach. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

The waves at Isounora were barely knee high but I surfed it anyway. \u00a0Needed the exercise and needed the challenge. \u00a0Surprisingly I could surf it! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Got up at 3:30am this morning and drove 6 hours to surf. \u00a0We surfers do anything to find surf. \u00a0My brothers driving makes me so nervous that it’s impossible to sleep. \"\"<\/p>\n

This is Japanese surf culture. \u00a0Wake up early morning, load up the boards, and go searching for the perfect wave. \u00a0And yes, we scored!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
