I rarely step out of my comfort zone and try new things. So I decided that today would be a good idea since we are going for sushi for dinner.

I haven’t ever eaten sushi before and never wanted to either. Something about it has always grossed me out. I love seafood but never wanted to try sushi.

We went to a place called Sushi Den in Denver. It is supposed to be the 5th best place to eat sushi in the country. We were seated fairly quickly and I was a little nervous about eating. I made sure I had a good appetite before we went so the food would taste better.

One of our friends order the chefs special for us. He told the chef that he had friends from out of town and to make it special for us. So the chef made up various plates and sent them out to our table. I probably couldn’t recall any of the names of foods that we ate but I loved all of them. I know that we ate some of the largest shrimp I have ever seen along with huge scallops. The last time I had scallops they were served cold and that turned me off from eating scallops. I thought I would give them another try since they were being served warm. They turned out to be really good.

We ordered Saki that is served in a box. I thought this was weird but it was the night to try new things so I went with it. The server placed a box in a plate and poured the Saki into the box until it runs over in to the box. I think this is supposed to have some kind of meaning but I wasn’t really listening when he told us.

The Saki was better than I had remembered. It was still a little rough drinking out of a box and off the plate but tolerable.

We finished off this awesome meal with dessert. Two of us ordered green tea ice cream, which sounds gross but it was really good. I don’t know what the other dish was but it was definitely something I hadn’t had before. It was also good.

So the first night of stepping out of my comfort zone was a good start to many more!
