Not to mention all sushiya seem to be men

We use California rice and have never had a J-guest notice it was not the good old domestic stuff, or maybe their unique taste buds picked it up and they didn't want to embarass us by mentioning it! Ha!

Let's see, a pair of ohashi might just do the trick... I can just say that I'm a clumsy gaijin, never learned to use the damn things right... Oh-oh... slipped...

...Or maybe they were just sooo PO'd about little brat nephew using them better than they could...
...Or maybe that cute little guy with the lightning-fast hocho caught your Aunt's interest, leading to the downfall of her until-then happy marriage...
You never know...
