Vinegared rice for sushi (sushi meshi)

This is how you celebrated Valentine’s Day after 10+ years of marriage:

First, you booked a nice restaurant for a romantic lunch.

Then somehow you both managed to piss each other off after ten minutes or so. You both went back to the office fuming.

At the end of the day, he brought home a big bouquet of flowers.

We lived happily ever after.
