As the sushi was home made from a kit, with no nutritional info I know the fillings I used would be about 2 syns max for everything. Miso soup appears to be free, I used the rice seasoning provided so I am going to add all remaining syns from today to make the total 15 probably an overestimate, but thats OK.


Total syns = 15 syns :D
