Shabu shabu! That’s a fun thing to eat with friends. It literally translates as “swish swish” because of the swishing sound made when you swish the food through the boiling water… Man I haven’t had that since I was in Japan and not many places in SD serve it! There are other things you can’t find around either: Okonomiyaki, steaming amazake on a cold night, or a nice, hot bowl of oden! I’m doing that thing Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) did when he was going pfffff–fff-f-f-fff lecherously.
OK. As soon as I get back to SAN from DEN I will need to book a flight to NRT.
