Nobu-kun Center Stage
















Last week, Kurebayashi-san from YT-design brought us a big fluke he fished.
Nobu-kun was on its case.
He was preparing ("sabaku" in Japanese) fluke for Sashimi.
We were surrounding Nobu-kun and watched him chopping a fluke as if it was a short show.
He performed really well and the fluke was delicious!
(Thank you, Kurebayashi-san!)
