This is another one of my go-to places for a Japanese style bento. I never went to the Japanese deli chain when I lived in Tokyo because their food seemed less interesting compared to the other choices that I had, but in San Francisco, where my options are scarce, it&#8217;s a different story.

		<description><![CDATA[

When I moved to San Francisco from Japan, one of the most depressing things about it was the paltry lunch selections near my office. In Japan, we had a choice of endless restaurants specializing in an endless assortment of foods. There was a place we went to just for Chinese Mabo Tofu, and another for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recipe: Tofu Donburi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Summer in Tokyo can get unimaginably hot because the city is essentially built of concrete, and it doesn&#8217;t cool down in the evenings. You can lose your appetite on the hottest days and dinner becomes a drag. On those nights, we sometimes had tofu donburi, a dish idea that my sister got from a restaurant. [...]]]></description>

This is my go-to Japanese grocery in San Francisco, where I buy everything from staples like soy sauce, miso and bonito powder to fresh fish for sashimi and sushi. I even get my favorite Shiseido shampoo called Tsubaki here. They have a good selection of fresh Japanese vegetables, a wide range of frozen goods and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sushi Sam&#8217;s Edomata</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to Japanese expats, the best place to go for sushi in San Mateo is Sushi Sam&#8217;s Edomata. So when I had to pick up Patrick at the nearby airport one evening, we decided to stop there for dinner on the way home. I have to admit that I wasn&#8217;t so sure about this place [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nozomi Japanese Fusion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine the kitschiest &#8220;Japanese&#8221; restaurant you can think of - some body of running water in the restaurant, lots of Japanese-ish motifs like glass etchings of Japanese landscapes, and waitresses wearing the kind of fake kimono style tops or dresses that are sold at the Oriental Bazaar in Harajuku for foreigners. That would be Nozomi, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ame</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Patrick and I are divided about this place, but I kind of like it. I&#8217;ve been there twice so far, and our first experience was disappointing, and the second was great.

We first tasted Hiro Sone&#8217;s cooking at a Japanese dinner we were invited to, celebrating the 50th anniversary of UC Berkeley&#8217;s Center for Japanese Studies [...]]]></description>

		<title>La Ciccia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[La Ciccia is a gem of a Sardinian restaurant in Bernal Heights. It&#8217;s  obviously not Japanese, but they mirror the best of the Japanese culinary experience so much so in their marriage of great food and great service that we came out of it reminiscing about the great dining experiences we had in Tokyo.

		<title>Sebo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having been spoiled by an abundant supply of fresh, seasonal fish in Tokyo sushi restaurants, one thing Patrick and I look for in a sushi place in the U.S. is variety. We don&#8217;t expect the breadth of what&#8217;s available in Japan, but we&#8217;d like to see a little more than just the staples. Sebo, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Class on Sushi History</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine just sent me a link to a sushi history class on May 22 by an LA art collective. Offering a culinary time-travel adventure, it promises to teach participants &#8220;about the effects on sushi&#8217;s development of geography, oceanography, climate, politics, war, immigration, urban planning, human disaster and cultural influence.&#8221;

I&#8217;ve eaten sushi all [...]]]></description>
