Remembering my favorite meals

Growing up in a Japanese family we often went out for Japanese food, had it at Winnipeg's Japanese Cultural Center and my favorite was New Years day. New Years day my dad's side of the family would get together and eat tuna sashimi, inari, futomaki, vegetable tempura, teriyaki chicken and chowmein. It was probably my favorite meal besides my grandma Sasaki's Christmas dinner.

The last one we had a few years ago was out of this world. In Sasaki tradition we of course had WAY too much food. Here are some pictures from that night.

My uncle Chris also made soba.

I believe my dad made the chicken.

What was your favorite family meal while growing up?
