So I finally had vegan sushi. Sushi/sashimi, the non-vegan version, was something that Jane and I adored. And we knew, that like with pizza, we wouldn't find the vegan versions nearly as satisfying. So we've avoided the stuff. On our last trip to Shojin (our favorite vegan restaurant), we had the caterpillar roll, and a mushroom sushi roll. Oh My God!!! It was heaven. Honestly. I know that people are always saying how good vegan sushi is, but really folks, if you're in Los Angeles, head on over to Shojin and order the caterpillar roll, you won't be sorry.
I should have a picture for this post because not only was it amazingly good but it was beautiful too.
