Prior to our recent trip to Japan I had gotten enamored with the food from that land. All manners of noodles, fried preparations refered to as Tempura and of course Sushi.
A term generically used to signify a whole plethora of items that have vinegared rice as a common ingredient. Many contain fish as the next most abundant inclusion and the rolls that are crafted from it are a treat.
Japan offered an exclusive variety that was always fresh in taste and ubiquitous from train stations to tourist sites ensuring I was adequately nourished.
I recently discovered an 'all you can stuff' in one sitting type of place in Foster City (which is on the peninsula of the bay area). Typically I am wary of such invites since the food is mass produced and sits there depending on whether someone actually consumes it or not.
This place is different. It asks the guest to limit their selection to four rolls per person and then proceeds to make the rolls fresh with ingredients that are sourced weekly. I have already hit it up a few times in the past couple of weeks.
My favorite has been the Shrimp Tempura Roll, Spicy Tuna roll, Fried California Roll (entire CA roll is breaded lightly and then deep fried) along with their Salmon and Spider (crab) Rolls.
I ensured I had a light dinner the night before and had a couple friends lined up (that I could banter for an hour plus over lunch and who also enjoyed said cuisine) before heading there to do the needful.
I was not disappointed. The banter was good and the food exceeded expectations.
Now all I need is a Royce (not Rice) to take me home and get me off the coma induced by the Rolls.
