Tokyo Express
Another entry about Japanese food? :P Yes...read on.
The recent heatwave in SF has caused me to want to eat something light and healthy for lunch.
I went over to Tokyo Express (Spear x Howard) and got a futomaki roll. A futomaki roll is a veggie roll with pickled radish ("takuan" in Japanese), egg, dried tofu skin, spinach, mushroom, carrots and cucumber. It's always my go-to roll when I'm in the mood for something light.
Tokyo Express is convenient and much more affordable than Ozumo's - a block away (although, they're not even the same type of clientel so it's hard to compare). It's a quick and convenient place to eat some decent Japanese food. But, don't get their niku (beef) udon. The beef was wayyyyy too tough and hard to eat. If you dine in, it's extremely quick too, a major factor when you're dining out for lunch.
The recent sampling of Jamba Juice's bottled smoothies has led me to go there and order my favorite, Aloha Pineapple - a sweet whirl of pineapple juice, strawberries, bananas, pineapple sherbet, nonfat plain yogurt and ice (excerpt from Jamba Juice). Aloha Pineapple is actually not THAT healthy. I was looking through their nutrition binder one time and it was one of the drinks that had the most calories. About 470! for a full regular size.
This meal felt light (even though the JJ was super caloried), but definitely satisfying and not super filling on such a warm, beautiful, sunny SF day. And....why am I still eating in the office?
