A Party/パーティー

Last night, I gave a party for nine people (including my family of four).
Two low tables for six adults. The three children had their seats at the dining table.
昨晩は9人(私たち4人家族を含む)のパーティーを開きました。
大人6人用のお膳、2つ。子供たち3人はテーブルに座りました

This is the only Japanese-style room in my house.
この部屋は私の家の中で唯一の和室です。
I ordered nine plates of sashimi (lean tuna, adult yellow tail, and sweet shrimp).
刺身を9皿(マグロ赤身、ブリ、甘エビ)注文しました。

I also ordered two fillets each of buri and medium fatty tuna.
またブリとマグロの中トロを2柵づつ注文しました。


I used these fillets to make nigiri.
これらの柵は握り寿司に使いました。

Randi: Sorry for a late reply. Well, in Japan, two or three dishes are not considered enough to welcome guests...
