December 19th, 2014: T_ADS Christmas Party

Published 2014年12月19日 by T—ADS


On December 19th, 2014, T_ADS hosted the Annual Christmas Party!

Every year Obuchi Lab hosts a Christmas Sushi Party for all the lab’s staff and students. Fresh fish from Tsukiji transformed into nigiri sushis by students and staffs, and served to everybody who came. Good time was had by all, enlivened with sake and beer.

It is also a tradition for a new staff member to take first year students to Tsukiji Market early in the morning to purchase a lot of fresh sushi-grade fish meat.
This year, we bought scrumptious pieces of tuna, swordfish, salmon, octopus, and shrimps.
