vegetables. They don't eat a lot of eggs or meat. Their favorite dish is Sushi. They have
different types of Sushi. I went to a famous restaurant in Japan and I tried Sushi. I liked
it very much and I ate it two times last week. Two weeks ago I also visited the zoo. I saw
Yezo bear, the famous animal in the zoo .
