Well guys, I know it seems like I've taken my sweet little time but Grad School does tend to suck the time out of your life in general. In fact I haven't played an MMO in ... I lost count. Anyway, last weekend I made a trip to Japantown here in the lovely San Francisco. I did the usual browsing in Kinokuniya, Daiso...
and let's not even mention the model kit store, I still have two model kits to build...
That Reminds me that I want the new 00 Quant[T] ...
So where did I go new? This restaurant called "On the Bridge", which is literally on the bridge in Japantown by the way.
Yep you're seeing right, I took the photo in the restaurant, they've decorated the place with many anime and manga decorations. Including J-pop playing and a TV with some Anime. Not only that but... -drumroll- Manga! Yep, while you wait for the delicious food, you can help yourself to catching up on that volume of Nana you've just had bad luck finding in any Borders!
So yeah, this almost the closest you'll get to a manga café here in Japantown. But what about the food? Well like the advertising says, Japanese food is not only about sushi, ramen, and anything teriyaki. The Japanese like reinvent a lot of Western food, take for example, pasta!
Even the gyoza I ordered was quite different, but nonetheless delicious, and was certainly a mix of Italian and Japanese cuisine. The food was delicious, and you'd be amazed at the variety they have here. It is a small restaurant though, from what I heard it's pretty much a family run business. The owner is a chef, and from what my friends tell me he's a really friendly person. Considering it's a small place, you got to be patient sometimes with the waiting time, but hey, you're not only here for the food right? Otherwise if you're in a rush, don't go on a weekend afternoon that's for sure.
Well that's all for today's entry, hopefully I'll be posting a bit more regularly.
Till next time,
りんごしゅ
