Japanese astronauts serve sushi in space

Tokyo - Japanese astronauts aboard the International Space Station ISS treated their colleagues to a worldly delicacy from their homeland, by making them space sushi for dinner, Kyodo News reported Thursday.

Naoko Yamazaki, 34, donned an immaculate pink kimono to prepare the rice and seaweed rolls in zero gravity, according to a NASA photo.

Soichi Noguchi, 44, caught the celestial snacks in his mouth as they floated free, the report said. He had promised to make sushi for his fellow astronauts before taking off for the mission in December, and packed frozen scallops and tuna for the purpose.
