The Fukujinzuke pickles with the curry look interesting, that’s the part I would have been keenest to try out (especially as they don’t quite seem to be fukujinzuke pickles but kind of do, now I’m REALLY curious about them!)
Needed a second take to read the word “assorted” 😁
most Japanese places I love serve a pickle that’s deeper red. I wasn’t accustomed to this color. Still tasted like the pickle :-)
it was a good curry. In Sf I get some nicer thicker and richer and spicier Japanese curries. I expect to return here in July so I’ll get another entree or just eat sushi rolls. The curry was definitely much cheaper than getting 5-6 rolls to share.
eta - one of my dining companions was lamenting the lack of Asian bakeries this north of San Francisco. I asked her what she liked and she mentioned milk bread so I’m going to send her the Maanchi link that LapLap taught me during 2020 brutal pandemic. I’m thankful for my baking that I did and I don’t desire to do much baking right now.
