After boxing Friday, I joined Ritz (furthest left) and her friends at her favorite Japanese restaurant in the CBD - Izakaya Chuji on the corner of Russell and Lonsdale. We ate everything from sushimi to cow tongue to raw beef. Ritz did the ordering and the rest of us just agreed to try everything that went around. The concept of raw beef really grossed me out but the taste was surprisingly wonderful, with a texture not at all what I expected. It was a great relief to go with someone who knew what they were doing and took all the uncertainty out of ordering.
