Not-So-Authentic Japanese Store in San Jose, CA
August 18, 2008
So there I was in a Japanese grocery store in California. Everything seemed authentic, from the traditional bento being sold in the corner to the pricey imported Japanese tea sets for sale near the entrance. For one small moment in time, I felt as though I was actually shopping in Japan. Until I saw this:
Jeff Foxworthy Jerky
Yup. Nothing says authentic Japanese like Jeff Foxworthy Beef Jerky
Do you like Japanese food?
Have you ever been to Japan?
Just wondering.
I don’t mind Japanese food, though I tend to prefer other Asian foods, especially Chinese, Thai, and Mongolian. I do like Japanese green teas . . . in fact I just bought Macha the other day.
As for visiting Japan: I never have. But Japan is one of the top countries I want to visit. Hopefully someday I’ll get to go.
With sushi, sashimi, don-buri, yakisoba, monjya, etc, etc….how can you not think Japanese food is the best??
(Next would be Korean before those other three you mentioned!)
And you should definitely visit Japan!
