Time : Saturday - July 25th, 2009
Venue : Sakura Hostel Asakusa

We had a Sushi making party at Sakura Hostel Asakusa before Sumida River fireworks Festival on Saturday, July 25th.

The Sumida Fireworks Festival is the oldest fireworks festivals for which historical records exist. We had a Sushi making party, and after that, we went to Sumida River to see the Hanabi(fireworks) together. All Sushi ingredients are already prepared by Sakura Hostel Asakusa. We just made our own Sushi and ate!
