Japanese Fast Food at the Beach

Written on March 7, 2008 by papawasabi

Beats a taco stand at Santa Monica beach, that’s for sure. This was a fairly cheap dish, about $7 I think, that we grabbed at a modest beachside cafe where we showered after swimming. This is the kind of thing that gest thrown together quickly in Japan. There is nothing special about it, but you would be hard-pressed to find anything approaching this in the west, except at very high-priced restaurants with attitudes.

So, in the States, you might settle for a taco or a cheeseburger. In Japan you get a salad dressed with fresh maguro, ikura and calamari.

Do you see why all my Japanese friends are disappointed when they eat at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf?
