Japanese Dinner

My friend Kiyomi invited me and 2 other women to her home for an authentic Japanese dinner.  She prepared a dish that she had learned to cook from her mother.  It was delicious and contained ingredients that I have never heard of such as lotus root.

The base was sushi rice and was topped with shrimp, squid, lotus root, bamboo shoots and some other things.  The yellow strips were made of egg and then topped with ginger.

 The soup was a delightfully seasoned broth with so.me vegetables.  But I've already forgotten what was in it.
