Please don't look at these cookies and think they are too complicated for you to make. They aren't! If you haven't tryed Florentine cookies, they are sort of a mixture between a candy and a cookie with their chocolaty, toffee-ish, nutty taste and texture.
Some people think of these little delectable treats as a Christmas cookie, but I don't really believe in holiday cookies. If you love a cookie, I say eat it year-round! As far as these Florentines, I actually was reminded how much I love them after enjoying them this summer at Peet's Coffee, and after buying a package of them at Trader Joe's for myself…I mean…my mom and her friends at the senior community. ; )
The ladies went crazy over these cookies, so of course I had to get in my kitchen and whip up a batch for them the following week. They liked the homemade version even better. Of course they did. Isn't everything always better with the addition of love?
Happy cooking making!
By the way, I slightly adapted this recipe that I believe is a Food Network recipe.
- 13/4 cups slivered almonds, lightly toasted
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ¼ cup teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 5 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (I used chocolate chips)
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- If almonds need a little toasting, just roast in a dry pan for a few minutes until lightly toasted on edges.
- In mixing bowl, stir together nuts, flour and salt (and orange zest if you prefer).
- In a small fry pan, on medium heat, whisk together sugar, cream, corn syrup and butter until mixture simmers and sugar is completely dissolved. Continue to simmer for another minute.
- Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla, and pour into almond mixture. Stir to combine; set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. Don't let cool too long; it will become to hard to work with.
- Carefully form rounded teaspoons of mixture into ball and place on baking sheet, leaving a few inches between cookies.
- Bake for about 18-20 minutes until cookies are thin and have a carmel color (be sure to check to ensure they don't burn). Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with remaining batter.
- For drizzle, melt chocolate in heat-proof bowl over boiling water, or in microwave.
- Spread thin layer on flat side of half the cookies and make "sandwich" with the other half.
- Spoon remaining chocolate into small plastic sandwich bag and cut tiny hole at corner. Drizzle over tops and let cool.
- To store, place parchment paper between cookies to prevent from sticking together.
- Makes about a dozen "sandwich" cookies.
- Enjoy!

Waiting For A Trophy
I recently had a discussion with a fellow hog hunter and friend over a hunt that he had been on. He told me of how he had planned to harvest a boar that could be mounted but became frustrated early in the hunt and decided to settle for a few average size meat hogs. It seems the temptation to take a shot on hogs that presented themselves was too much for him to handle. Read more!

Live blog, other key information set as new Fix50 project closures begin
Commuters face another jolt to their routines as Phase 2 of the Fix50 project begins Friday morning, this part of the work possibly leading to more pronounced traffic slowdowns.
To receive news and updates, and to share experiences and route tips, readers are urged to use the live blog that will be posted at sacbee.com/live beginning at 5:30 a.m. Friday. Tony Bizjak, The Bee's transportation reporter, along with other official and unofficial sources will provide posts throughout commute hours. Anyone wishing to post to the live blog via Twitter may use the hashtag #Fix50.
With Phase 1 of the project completed a few days early, lane closures shift from three inside lanes along the W-X stretch of eastbound Highway 50 above downtown Sacramento to two outside lanes. The position of those closures will mean key on-ramps as well as heavily used approaches to eastbound Business 80 and southbound Highway 99 will be off limits.
The anticipated results are significant detours and even more added travel time for commuters and other motorists coming into and through Sacramento, as well as heavier traffic on surface streets.
Here are additional resources and information about Phase 2 and subsequent portions of the Fix50 project:• Maps showing lane closures for the next three phases of the project, as well as suggested detour routes.
• Real-time traffic map, live-camera views of construction zones and latest news on our Transportation/Fix50 page.
• Mobile resources and links.
• Sign up for text alerts for traffic and project bulletins; standard mobile rates apply.
• Email your photos to email@example.com, and include when and where they were taken.
• Submit your questions to our Fix50 expert, Tony Bizjak, and read the full Q&A.

This article presents evidence on the employment effects of recent minimum wage increases from a prespecified research design that entailed committing to a detailed set of statistical analyses prior to "going to" the data. The limited data to which the prespecified research design can be applied may preclude finding many significant effects. Nonetheless, the evidence is most consistent with disemployment effects of minimum wages for younger, less-skilled workers.

Aktually Koming Soon: A Kardashian Kredit Kardby Hilton Hater at . Comments
We really wish were were making this up, but: Mastercard is coming out with a prepaid, Kardashian-based credit card.
The item will be available to consumers on November 10 - and we'll just let Kim take it from here, as we must go purchase canned goods for the upcoming Apocalypse:
"I am so excited to reveal to you guys that Kourtney, Khloe and I have partnered with Mobile Resource Card to create our very own Kardashian Prepaid Mastercard," Kim blogged today.
Kontinued Kardashian:
"To me, the coolest thing about this prepaid card is that when you get the card you also get a Mobile Mone account for free and you can transfer your money between your accounts when you need it, using your phone. It's like having an ATM in your phone, LOL. No one likes going to banks and ATMs and we're constantly on our phones, so why not make it easy to manage your money from your mobile!?"
We don't have an answer for that, Kim. Or for what's become of society.
Maybe they shoudl trademark toilet paper so I can wipe my ass with there logo!
When do these Krazy people ever sleep??
People wonder what is wrong with our country today and this family is proof plus the fact that the media, being the money wh*res that they are, eat this stuff up. No morals I guess. I swear every time I see pics of Kim she looks like a wax statue.
If it holds the words kardashian and prepaid, it certainly means that all of them will be prepaid by the awful trio themselves, right?
OMFG! These wh*res will do ANYTHING for money!
why do they have to put their name on eveything just to make money
Holy Kow,what an original idea, a kash and karry kard.

Scotland Decides: The Implications of Scottish Independence on Pharmacy...(0)
posted on 17th September 2014
(Photo courtesy of The Guardian)
Polling stations are buzzing today as millions of Scots turn out to cast their vote in the referendum on Scottish Independence.
The vote will have many significant impacts on life on both sides of the border, including health care.
Many powers concerning health care are currently devolved to the Scottish Parliament, such as health policy and community pharmacy funding, though some powers remain reserved by the UK government - The Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme, for instance.
A no vote would lead to further negotiations between devolving more powers to Scotland, but a yes vote would mean responsibility for all health concerns rest in Scottish hands.
Its likely also that an independent Scotland will look to the pharmaceutical industry for inward investment. Using low-taxation, skilled graduates and investment in research, Ireland has built up a successful life sciences industry. Could we see the same north of the border?
The Pharmaceutical Journal has a very in-depth article outlining the wider changes, looking at medicine, education and regulation.
While the implications of the vote might really be low, with nothing much changing...there is the human factor to bear in mind too.
NHS prescriptions are free in Scotland, whereas English pharmacies charge £8.05 per item, only exempting those who fit the criteria.
Dotted across the border in Northern England, are pockets of towns, villages and hamlets..all within driving distance of pharmacies in Scotland. In fact, many communities in England are served by Scottish pharmacies.
A quarter of all patients at The Coldstream Practice, which lies just a few hundred yards inside Scotland, live in England. Two differing health care systems could have a big impact on these people. For instance, being sent to a hospital 50 miles away in England rather than a local hospital which has traditionally served them.
Whichever way the vote goes, it will be interesting to see the health care reforms brought in. Perhaps devolving more power can lead to all countries in the British Isles helping eachother to build a better health care system for us all.

Is there anything good and inexpensive in Japantown these days? [San Francisco]
My apt. is less then a 10 minute walk from Japantown and I'm often craving inexpensive udon or soba, tempura, ramen, tonkatsu, tofu, unagi, bentos or cheap omakase lunch specials, but have never taken the time to really explore the restaurants and plaza in this neighborhood. I realize that there's generally considered far better Japanese elsewhere in the city (seems odd; is that because of high rents or commercialization or something?) but I'd be very satisfied with any recommendations for just good and cheap places that don't necessarily have to be the best in town. Preferably with authentic flavors. I'm not asking for mediocre or bland recommendations to be clear... I'm just asking for the best of what's accessible in the area. Is there anything worth the walk down Van Ness from my apartment? Are there any reasonably priced counter stalls in the Plaza? A good independent grocery or conrner store perhaps where one could get bento style lunches or cheap but fresh sashimi, hand-pulled noodles, etc? Any tips at all would be really appreciated!
I also live nearby and visit a good amount. It's a strangely inessential foodie neighborhood considering the density of restaurants, but there are a few places I like enough to return. Sometimes it's worth it took look up from your bowl of mediocre noodles to see teenagers dressed as goth babydolls wandering aimlessly through the hallways of a worse-for-the-wear 60's mall.
I'll note that I've never been to Japan and have no idea of whether what I'm eating constitutes an "authentic flavor" or not; this is just what I like in the area, not limited to Japanese food:
Fat Angel
I adore the smoked trout salad ($13) and liked the roasted red grape/walnut flatbread ($11).
Good chopped salads. I find them too expensive, but I think they do fall under the $15 mark.
I like this as a working lunch restaurant. It's nice to spread out in one of their little cubbies with a bowl of sansai mountain vegetable udon. Under $10 I think.
Yakini Q Cafe
Good: iced yuzu tea, baked goods from Patisserie Phillipe. Don't know about their signature sweet potato latte, sounds too sweet for me.
i also live in the area, and walk down there a lot.
-okonomiyaki at mifune don
-various at mifune (main)
-sashimi platters from nijiya ($20 but could be split). nijiya also has various other less expensive bentos. i don't know if they are good though.
-yakiniQ ($20 but good / all you can eat)
-sophie's crepes
-suzu noodle house is decent
-doobu for korean is pretty good
i've been to japan a number of times, and think the food is generally fairly representative / authentic, as does a friend who lived in tokyo for a few years.
re: Dustin_E
Thanks Dustin, I'm sitting in a booth at Mifune Don now, waiting for an okonomiyaki with pork, scallops, shrimps and squid! Looks great so far...
re: OliverB
Great okonomiyaki! Not the best I've had nor surely the best in town, but it was very good and packed full of fresh squid, large chunks of scallop, whole shrimp, and tender pork; it hit way above expectation!
I was about to post what a great deal that was for under $10 (I was certain it was 9.00 and change on the menu) but I just got the bill for $15+ so closer to $20 with tip. Still great although not as cheap as I'd thought! It might have been a mistake though; Ill pay more attention to the bill next time.
Btw, part of the reason for cost consideration is because I'm planning a 1.5 month delayed honeymoon across Japan next fall... So I've vowed to eat out less and not spend more than $10-15 on solo meals during the week. It's often hard because I'm working from home and an in a food wasteland (Van Ness and Clay!) but I'm glad to know there's an option for good okonomiyaki nearby!
Can anyone please recommend the best udon or ramen in the area? Also, anywhere for good bento lunches in the $12 range?
re: OliverB
Relatively new Waraku makes my favorite ramen in the area, but it doesn't exactly have stiff competition; Waraku's ramen is passably good, but it's also not the cheapest bowl around. I like the firm, yellow noodles, the raw pressed garlic, and the fact that the broth has pretty good flavor without being at all salty. I did not really like the pork, and the whole bowl really wasn't hot enough, but it's still much better than the offerings at Tanpopo or Suzu.
Not a meal item, but if you're going to walk from Van Ness, Benkyodo is definitely worth a short detour for a mochi dessert- the chofu is my favorite. It's not available every day, but you can definitely get them on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
re: drinkmoretang
i agree completely with this assessment of waraku.
re: drinkmoretang
re: OliverB
Is buying from Nijiya and cooking at home an option? I'm sure they must have some ramen or udon you like. Just need to add some protein and/or veggies.
re: OliverB
glad you enjoyed it -- what place in town do you think has a better version?
you probably got the combination okonomiyaki -- i believe the single-ingredient non-seafood ones are less expensive.
hope you will report on your journey across japan on the (borderline-dead) japan boards.
be sure to post back on any japantown finds -- would be helpful to find more decent things there.
re: Dustin_E
I feel like IDing great food in Japantown could be a Chowdown challenge in and of itself. 20 people meet at the Japantown mall, assemble into groups of 2-3 and disperse. Your mission: find one excellent dish within mall or 1 block radius outside.
re: pane
My go-to one-dish for lunch:
Takara Japanese Restaurant for shio saba, Taramiso/black cod, Takara Chirashi
validates one hour parking in the garage under the mall
Jitlada Thai Cuisine for the Mango Salad
re: OliverB
re: rubadubgdub
Yes I know, but we'll be traveling all over Japan for 1.5 months and are planning to balance out the cheaper blue collar Izakaya bars and market stalls with some really high end meals in the bigger cities like Tokyo. We're not eating exclusively at name restaurants but as its our honeymoon, were not exactly on a stringent budget. We're staying at some very high end ryokans and hotels and it is proving to undoubtedly be the most expensive trip I've ever taken... But it's been a lifelong dream and its a special ocassion!
re: Dustin_E
Dustin, what do you recommend at Suzu?
re: OliverB
so suzu is not a super strong recommendation of mine, but i believe it is inexpensive and decent -- it is at least very frequently crowded with a wait.
i've had various good noodle dishes there.
i think some of their other dishes are better than their ramen.
re: Dustin_E
Suzu's Udon used to be my go to in J-Town when I lived in the city many moons ago. At one point they made their own noodles I believe. Still looking for a great Udon place in the Bay Area...I miss U:don in Seattle and the great Sanuki in Gardena.
Sad to hear about Maki as that used to be the best restaurant in the mall. It was one of my splurge restaurants in the early 2000's.
Izumiya, across from the Kinokuniya bookstore in the mall next to the Kabuki, sounds like the kind of place you're looking for. I especially like the grilled squid w ginger; sushi is decent. Prices are very reasonable.Nijiya Market has an extensive takeout section in the front and also sashimi in the back. I think around 530-600 they discount the prepared items, which is handy for dinner or premovie.
re: rubadubgdub
Thanks so much! This is exactly what I'm looking for and I will give it a shot and report back next week!
re: rubadubgdub
I've been going to Izumiya for years but recently had two terrible meals there in a row. The okonomiyaki was greasy and overdone. Service, which has never been great, was really poor.
re: Windy
I still find them a reliable choice. Last meal there was only a couple of weeks ago and it hit the spot. One of the reasons I like them so much is you don't have to order a full meal, rather you can just order exactly what you want, even a small snack. But service is not their strong point, agreed.
re: rubadubgdub
A couple take-out, prewrapped items I can recommend from Nijiya for a fairly inexpensive meal.
Saba battera Osaka-style sushi, $7.49 for six pieces - Marinated mackerel had a clean, non-chemically taste and was cut in thick slabs. A sheet of kombu over the fish, and shiso leaves were layered with the rice. The only ding would be that the rice was a little too wet, thus on the soft side and not really achieving the desired firmness of pressed sushi rice. But this is a type of sushi not encountered often around here and this was quite satisfying for to-go lunch. Nijiya includes a pack of organic Kikkoman soy sauce and prepared grated wasabi from Japan.
Hiyashi chuka, cold ramen salad, $4.99 - Nicely done with a fine julienne of firmer and sweeter Japanese cucumbers, red ginger, egg, strips of boiled ham, and a stick of surimi (which I do not eat). Delicious tangy dressing, slightly sweet, and fragrant with toasted sesame oil. Noodles were a little too soft but not mushy. I'd buy this again too.
re: Melanie Wong
Grated wasabi in takeout? I'm impressed. That stuff's expensive and elusive where I'm from.
re: grayelf
It's a little plastic squeeze pack like the soy sauce packets. IIRC the ingredient list was something like horseradish, wasabi, corn syrup, mustard seed... What I liked about it was the grated texture like fresh wasabi root rather than reconstituted powder.
re: Melanie Wong
Ah, got it -- it was prolly the horseradish that was grated then. I thought I'd found another reason to be jealous of SFers :-).
re: Melanie Wong
Just curious why you don't eat surimi. Is it too highly processed? I eat it occasionally and like it, but I know a lot of people avoid it. Thanks!
re: The Librarian
Processing aside, I don't like the texture nor the amount of salt in surimi.
re: Melanie Wong
Thanks - good point!
Some more recommendations for good cheap eats in J-town:
Kissako Tea - best bento box in J-town, by far!
Waraku - decent ramen, the best in J-town but that's not saying much.
Takara - my favorite in the area for basic cooked dishes like saba shioyaki or tonkatsu. Nothing to write home about, but decent lunch specials and authentic.
On the Bridge - makes a decent Japanese curry.
Tanpopo - don't get ramen there, it's terrible! But its a decent place for cheap beer during happy hour (5 to 7 pm weekdays) - $2 drafts, and their takoyaki and torikawaage are pretty darn good with a cold beer.
Also, note that Ramen Underground just opened a branch in J-town; haven't tried it yet.
Doobu - good sundubu jjigae and cheap lunch prices.
New Korea House - my favorite hae jang gook in SF. All their soups are pretty good. I don't recommend the BBQ there, though.
re: od_sf
have you (or anyone) tried much else from on the bridge?
the shrimp curry don was decent, my main complaint is a too low curry / rice ratio.
i had written this place off for years, just because i thought the fun decor implied bad food -- i was wrong.
i don't know any other good yoshoku places in sf. are there any?
re: Dustin_E
As far as I know, On The Bridge is the only place in town serving yoshoku style dishes. I've mostly had their veggie and chicken curries, but I've tried a couple of their spaghetti dishes too (mentaiko spaghetti, if I recall) and it was good.
re: od_sf
Haven't had mentaiko spaghetti in ages from anybody. Recently tasted the version at On The Bridge, well, the leftovers that is and liked it quite a bit. Some nice richness from cream and/or butter, medium tone to the spicy cod roe, and a flurry of nori added a vegetal brininess. While the pasta wasn't al dente, it wasn't soft either even when reheated.
re: Dustin_E
On the Bridge is our go-to place in Jtown. Usually get curry, but have also tried ume spaghetti & other things, never had anything we didn't like.
re: indigirl
do you get their curry, or curry don?
which versions of his curry do you like, and what spiciness level do you recommend?
re: Dustin_E
Build your own curry, on the back of the menu. I get mild because of my tender Cantonese palate, so can't say what the hotter versions are like. Total comfort food!
re: ssfire
I've not had the one at Mifune Don. The okonomiyaki at Izumiya are certainly hearty, but I wouldn't recommend them if you've eaten them elsewhere.
re: ssfire
Context: I fell in love with the okonomiyaki in Osaka at a small no-name greasy spoon, so I prefer that style and having a noticeable "fried" flavor from the griddle.
I found the okonomiyaki at Mifune Don to be too thick, pasty, skimpy on the cabbage, burnt in spots, with overcooked seafood and no flavor. I really disliked it. The only one worse was the one at Sapporo-ya. At least this one didn't taste like it was reheated from frozen.
The okonomiyaki at Izumiya is better than either, although my favorite there is their "Modern Yaki" which is a pile of yakisoba on top of an okonomiyaki, crowned with a fried egg and gobs of sauce. It's excessive and unabashedly unhealthy, but I like it.
My favorite okonomiyaki in Japantown is the one at Kui Shin Bo. It's a little on the greasy side and isn't really traditional in texture. It veers a little close to tasting more like a latke, oddly. Which I love too but are not quite right. It's served in a hot castiron pan that gives it a bit more griddle flavor and a crispy edge that most others lack. It came the closest to capturing the flavor of the one I had in Osaka.
Best would be to pick up a kit at Nijiya and make your own at home. It's fun! Even making the batter from scratch isn't that hard. I do it all the time.
re: greymalkin
This recipe is nice, and quite easy:
i often use smoked ham instead of bacon, I leave out the chinese sausage and ginger, and I only use tempura bits if somehow they are handy.
re: greymalkin
I agree that the okonomiyaki was too pasty at Mifune-Don. That was really my only complaint. It got a bit gooey and sticky and the texture was not as delicate nor the flavors distinct as a result of it melding together as such. But there were no parts that were overcooked or burnt and the last thing I could complain about was skimping on any ingredients as it was packed full of fresh seafood and greens. I enjoyed it a lot, but as mentioned, it's far from the best I've had and doubtful that it ranks as the best in the city. I will have to try Kui Shin Bo to compare (they don't have the highest health score on yelp though) and I will definitely be making a couple of trips to Nijiya market next week too!
re: OliverB
Hmm, sounds like I should give Mifune Don another shot. Perhaps their chef was still learning when I tried it almost two years ago. I like it when there's a lot of stuff and less batter. Thanks for the update!
I wouldn't say you have to try Kui Shin Bo, it's a certain flavor profile that I liked, but it's pretty nontraditional. It might be an interesting contrast if you are really into okonomiyaki, but otherwise...ehhhh..... I think instead I'd encourage you to try Izumiya's, It's more traditional and I thought it was pretty good, if a little unexciting. Much improved by a pile of yakisoba on it :)
re: greymalkin
Just be warned that it is still pasty and gooey/gluey as mentioned, which would be my main criticism. I still really enjoyed it, but it was far from the best I've had. It's not destination worthy I don't think, but it's a solid neighborhood option.
re: OliverB
Maybe they are using too much yamaimo?
re: OliverB
Since FiDi wasn't too far for you, maybe you'll check out Kare Ken on Jones too.
re: Melanie Wong
Thanks Melanie, that isn't far from me at all. I'm on Van Ness and Clay and don't mind walking 15 mins. for lunch. I really enjoyed Muracci's this afternoon and based on your rave reviews of Kare Ken (best in California is a mighty big statement!) I'll have to try it out as well! I didn't find the curry very spicy at Muracci's at all; are the heat levels comparable at KK? Similar prices as well? Thanks for the suggestion!
re: OliverB
Those posts aren't actually from me. I've not tried Kare Ken yet, as it's been closed at the hours I've been nearby. But it's high on my list and I'd love to see an update from you.
I love the Japanese take on curry. Japanese "hot" is not that spicy compared to Indian, Thai or Korean spice levels. It's more about the subtleties of the fruits and vegetables (assuming a homemade version) balanced with sweetness and some hotness.
Also close to you would be 2G Brasserie, no reports for a couple years. A check of the website shows no breakfast menu any more.
re: OliverB
Kare Ken is really excellent.
their hot is definitely hot -- to me almost inedibly so, and i think my tolerance is pretty high.
curries+meat are ~$7 for pork, ~$10 for prawn. it is also byob.
re: Chowrin
Because tonkotsu broth shouldn't really taste salty. Shio? Yes. Shoyu? A little bit, maybe. Tonkotsu should not really taste "salty" though.
re: CarrieWas218
Thanks, I'll check it out.
re: CarrieWas218
Takara has been one of my favorites for many years because of that Bento box. When I first started eating there, it was only $6.95. Still decent Japanese food at a reasonable price.
re: Lindsay D47
I haven't been there in a long while, but I used to really enjoy the chawanmushi at Takara
re: escargot3
I agree! But, I haven't had their chawanmushi in years. Just a few weeks ago, we stopped in for a Friday lunch -- but they don't serve chawanmushi at lunchtime so we went elsewhere (Suzu noodle house).
re: CarrieWas218
Friday's lunch was take-out bento from Takara. $8.50 + tax. I opted for the albacore sashimi, which turned out to be five thick and buttery soft pieces sliced from the loin. More than decent tempura though the dipping sauce was too watery. All in all, good value.
I recommend Shabu Sen @ 1726 buchanan (on the pedestrian block between post & sutter)
Their shabu shabu and sukiyaki are both great. Tasty and satisfying and fun to eat. I *think* either will run you about $15, and both have smaller versions for less money. Plus, I believe cheaper at lunchtime.
re: pauliface
I'm not sure if it's the same shabu restaurant, but I went to one with my wife on the pedestrian street across from Peace Plaza and 2 orders of mediocre shabu ran us almost $100. It was a huge ripoff for the quality of meal. I don't remember if it's because I ordered the steak (it definitely wasn't wagyu) or perhaps a certain cut, but I found the meal completely overpriced. I didn't remember seeing any shabu meals on the menu in the $15 price range though. Are there two shabu shabu restaurants on that same street?
Also, has anyone tried the tonkotsu from Chotto in Cow Hollow? It's probably well above the price range I've laid out in this thread, but I'm just curious as it seems to garner a lot of good reviews.
I'm going to try Ramen Underground in the J-town mall next week and will report back!
re: OliverB
They have different grades of meat at different price points. No need to order the pricey ones.
Someone should do a price check though, I could be wrong. Next time I'm there I will update my post.
re: pauliface
I don't think they have different grades of meat. The small size shabu shabu order is $11, regular is $15.50. Small sukiyaki is $12, regular size $16.50. I believe they have an "all you can eat" option for $32 per person.
I ate there once and found it very underwhelming.
re: od_sf
The one that I was at with my wife, which is also on that pedestrian street across from the mall, definitely offered varying grades of meat. I didn't order the wagyu as mentioned and I might have done a mixed grill with beef and shrimp (I forget) but it came out to an insanely high price for the quality of meal we had. I think we may have ordered sake as well. Regardless, we could have had a really great dinner at Nopa or somewhere similar for the amount we spent. It was definitely an underwhelming experience, but then I wouldn't have thoguht twice about it if it were an $11 lunch. It must either be a different place or I just made some costly mistakes when ordering!
re: OliverB
>> tonkotsu from Chotto in Cow Hollow
i have. it is good. certainly not perfect, but one of the best in sf imho.
re: Dustin_E
Thanks, I'm putting this at the top of my solo lunch list for next week!
re: OliverB
FYI, Chotto doesn't serve lunch.
re: OliverB
i liked shabu-sen, but thought it was expensive.
wonder if it is less expensive for lunch?
re: OliverB
Not a fan of the tonkotsu ramen at Chotto, details here,
re: Melanie Wong
I didn't like much of anything I tried last time I was at Chotto.
Have you been to any of the newer ramen places in Japantown, such as Yamadaya or Ramen Underground? I think the Ramen Underground on Kearny is very good. I have a friend who likes the Ramen Yamadaya in LA.
re: calumin
I've been to Yamadaya. Disappointing as I was expecting much more, but it is good. I think it's another case of the Bay Area getting sloppy seconds. I'll try it again once I've made the rounds of the newcomers.
Great suggestions already- I haven't seen anyone mention yet the tai-yaki at May's Coffee Shop (definitely get them warm, they're no good cold and soggy from siting out) or the mochi at Benkyodo. Tasty sweet snacks for a few bucks!
The little coffee/tea stand at the bottom of the stairs by Kinyokuniya Bookstore has some nice onigiri, kushi dango, and tea if you want a light sit-down snack.
The Super Mira market has premade foods for a quick food grab-n-go. Onigiri, various foods on rice, and I think a little lunch counter in the corner. They are a bit pricier than Nijiya, and have a smaller selection, but they have a lot of organic items and they're a family-run corner grocery store.
Sadly two of my favorites for mid-priced lunches, Maki (wappa) and Bushi-tei Bistro (unagi don lunch special) are closed, so I am really happy to read all the other suggestions your post has turned up. Thanks!
re: greymalkin
I like Super Mira as well. I feel their prepared stuff is better quality than Nijiya, though I also like Nijiya.
re: pauliface
Do they have good bento lunch boxes?
re: greymalkin
i also used to really love maki, but over the past two years it seems like the service just became really terrible to the point that i just stopped going. RIP.
re: Dustin_E
And now a conveyor belt sushi restaurant has opened up in its place.
re: Dustin_E
Heard the new place (Tenroku) is run by the folks from Sushi Raw.
re: K K
Sure is. Simon Woo. http://www.abc.ca.gov/datport/LQSdata...
Further evidence of the "de-Japanization" of Japantown.
re: Dustin_E
Looking at the yelp photos for Tenroku sushi, it looks like they are serving escolar. Can anyone who's actually been there let me know if they're serving it as such, or passing it off as "white tuna" or toro?
re: od_sf
well, it is placed on the conveyor belt rather than listed on a menu, so i'm not sure they pass it off as anything other than "yellow plate == $4"
they didn't have toro when i went. They did have full trays of (decent) uni on the belt, though.
i remember being particularly impressed with a white fish nigiri when i was there. don't know if it was that one exactly though.
re: Dustin_E
Surely they must have a printed menu? What if you don't see the nigiri you want to eat on the conveyor belt? You cannot order nigiri directly from one of the chefs?
re: Dustin_E
Thanks for the info, Dustin. I'm curious because I would NEVER give business to a sushi-ya that mislabels escolar as tuna or butterfish. Shady practice, and the sign of a unreputable business.
re: hyperbowler
Legit "butterfish" that won't cause issues, can sometimes be medai by some restaurants (not a good labeling), but at least according to wholesalers it is ebo-dai
I just make sure that if I'm in an establishment that happens to have the pearly white block of fish, I pass on it or request that they don't serve that.
re: hyperbowler
Japanese butterfish is called Ibodai in Japanese. It's pretty rare to see it served as sushi.
I have never seen a fish called "Waru" in Japan. Correct me if I'm wrong, but "waru" means "bad" in Japanese, and is not a fish name.
re: od_sf
I believe waru / walu is a Hawaiian name.
Also, the flesh of true butterfish is not that white, so as KK says, avoid the pure white stuff.
Here's a picture of some butterfish nigiri labeled as Medai
re: od_sf
Sushi Raw has Waru/Butterfish on their online menu, which is a common disguise name for Escolar. Might be the same @ Tenroku
re: drewskiSF
The late Toshi Sasaki (RIP) of Murasaki had escolar in his fish case in the past.
re: Dustin_E
Ramen Underground in Japantown has my favorite rendition of takoyaki in San Francisco. The center of this octopus ball remains moist and creamy with bits of diced octopus in a hot and crispy ball garnished with katsuobushi/negi - bonito flakes, chopped green onion, and takoyaki sauce.
"Ramen Underground's chef spent seven years cooking Italian food in Japan before he came to the United States, and a number of items show this."
I'm curious...omochi gnocchi, deep-fried cheese gyoza, grilled shiitake mushroom risotto.
re: OliverB
When I went, it was $10.25. I think it's plenty for a lunch or early dinner (maybe with an appetizer and drink).
Here's a picture, it's about 7" across and piled high:
I just had the tonkotsu ramen with chashu, soft boiled egg (extra) and corn (extra and from a can).
It was decent. I didn't really enjoy the noodles, which tasted undercooked to me. It was satisfying but not exceptional. I wanted to try Waraku but it was closed (perhaps only open for dinner?) but I'm going to give Suzu a shot next week to compare. Service wasn't great at RU, the waiter asked if he could take my bowl twice while I was eating and as soon as I finished and plunked my napkin in it, he plopped the bill down on the table. I would have ordered ice cream but didn't bother as a result. Anyhow, overall impression was that it was okay. Better than anything I've had in Montreal where I'm from, but incomparable to better places I've been elsewhere, including the East Bay.
re: OliverB
What a funny coincidence! I just went to Ramen Underground and came back to this post to mention it. I recently went there (first time) for lunch. I liked the thin chewy bouncy noodles, but then I really dislike mushy noodles, so this got huge bonus points for me. I also got the tonkotsu with egg. The broth was pretty salty for a tonkotsu broth, but it did have some depth of flavor and a nice creaminess. As much as I liked their noodles, Ramen Underground definitely has to be dinged for their boring and skimpy toppings tho. At $14 for the basic bowl plus one egg, I was hoping for more stuff than 3 leaves of spinach, a small scattering of chopped raw mushrooms, and one thin slice of chashu. I wanted more stuff in my tonkotsu but with the surcharge for every topping, I kept it simple. It would have been okay to skimp on the toppings if they were delicious but I didn't think they were that great. The chashu had no flavor, the eggs were runny inside but they tasted only of salt, no egginess.I didn't mind the raw mushrooms, they got pretty tasty in the salty broth, but I found it a little weird. Sounds like it's good I skipped the corn.
You might like Waraku better. I recently went there and liked it. Their toppings were better than RU's, and their noodles were firm but lacked the bouncy chew I like best. If you like garlic, they have raw garlic and presses at every table for you to anti-vampire up your ramen to your preference. Warning that the staff is cheerful but a little raw still (my waitress hadn't learned the menu yet). And having a car plow through their front window probably hasn't helped matters.
re: greymalkin
Thanks and I agree about the toppings; I actually ordred extra chashu but the kitchen either overlooked it or forgot about it and I couldn't believe there was only one thin slice in the bowl. The egg was also salty and tasteless as you mentioned, but I did enjoy the broth very much. A bit too much salt, but otherwise it was pretty tasty.
re: OliverB
I liked the broth too. I particularly liked that it was creamy without feeling like I was drinking liquid fat. Which can be good but not really for lunch.
Waraku's tonkotsu broth is actually a little undersalted, which I appreciated, but does mean it tastes a little bland compared to some if you really like salt. My friend got the shoyu broth at Waraku and loved it, so perhaps that is on the saltier side.
I hope you get to Suzu for a comparison, they're on my list to try also.
re: greymalkin
Not *in* Japantown, but on Post, just off Fillmore is Roostertail - VERY good and inexpensive roast chicken with a variety of sides.
Went with an old friend earlier this week and we each got a quarter white meat ($6.50) served with two sides; a chimichuri and nice, vinegar-based barbecue sauce. We shared shaved Brussels sprouts with bacon (large, $5.50) and sauteed chard (small, $3).
Finally, the crowning of the meal was a nectarine and blueberry crumble served alongside soft-serve ice cream. It took a bit for this to arrive and was obvious as it was baked to order and quite simply one of the best warm, fruit concoctions I've had in ages...

California Massage Board Organizes
Tasked to create state certification
By Ramon G. McLeod, Editor-in-Chief
The California Massage Therapy Council, which was created by the legislature to establish state certification for trained therapists, has unanimously elected Ahmos Netanel, a well-known Los Angeles-based massage therapist and entrepreneur, as its first board chairperson.
The new 11-member council, elected officers and committee chairs during its organizational meeting on February 19, and will immediately begin the task of creating a voluntary certification system for massage therapist in the state.
The purpose of the new law creating the council is two-fold. For therapists, certification will provide them with a single, statewide certificate that will supercede an inconsistent hodgepodge of local ordinances and regulations that are typically enforced by police departments. The bill specifically prohibits a city, county, or city and county from enacting ordinances regulating the practice of massage by a certificate holder. Cities and counties retain the right to adopt and enforce local ordinances governing zoning, business licensing, and reasonable health and safety requirements for massage establishments or businesses.
For consumers, the certification assures that the person they are doing business with is a trained massage therapist and, according to the law, assure that massage therapy "can no longer be used as a subterfuge" to violate state laws. The law creating the council is specific about the requirements individuals will need to meet to obtain certification. Therapists must be over 18, and: "The applicant has successfully completed, at a single approved school, curricula in massage and related subjects totaling a minimum of 250 hours that incorporates appropriate school assessment of student knowledge and skills. Included in the hours shall be instruction addressing anatomy and physiology, contraindications, health and hygiene, and business and ethics, with at least 100 hours of the required minimum 250 hours devoted to these curriculum areas."
Applicants will also have to supply fingerprints and can obtain a certificate if they have a license, or similar document, from another state with requirements that meet or exceed those in the new law, California Senate Bill 731.
Beverly May, government relations co-chair of the California chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and a primary driving force behind the new law, said during the meeting "certification (will) allow massage therapists to get one-stop shopping and be certified throughout the state." She also said that the board's goal is to be issuing certificates by September 1, the first day that the law allows their issuance.
Richard McElroy, a retired Los Angeles police officer who represents the League of California Cities on the new board, said that certification will be welcomed by local jurisdictions who have difficulty ascertaining the validity of documents given them now by individuals seeking to open massage businesses.
"The problem is that you just don't know who or where a person gets these certificates," he said in an interview. "The documents could be from legitimate schools, or from who knows where. But certification from a state-recognized and organized board is a whole other matter. That's the value to the cities."
Determining the validity of schools, and the programs they offer, is going to be a significant part of the new council's work.
In addition to Netanel, the board unanimously voted in Bob Benson, chairman of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP), as vice-chairperson. Other officers included Dr. Ben Drillings, Secretary, and Mason Myers, representing the California Association of Private Post-Secondary Schools.
May was named chairperson of the new council's Public Policy and Local Government committee. Benson was named chair of the Credentialling committee and Netanel was voted in as chair of the Outreach committee.
The 11-member board includes Netanel, Benson, May, Drillings, McElroy, Myers and the following individuals:

My favorite craft activities are super simple, low-fuss, no-stress kinds of things we can all do together — like this drip pumpkin painting project we did last week.
I've seen the idea a few times on Pinterest and just knew it would be a great project we could all get involved with and have a good time in the process. What I wasn't prepared for, was all the gorgeous drippage! Seriously, I could have stared at those swirling colors for hours, the kids too. We were mesmerized, who knew painting pumpkins could be so therapeutic.
To make a puddle of psychedelic paint of your own, you'll need a few of your favorite colors of craft paint, a pumpkin, a piece of cardboard and something for the pumpkin to sit on (I used a small plastic container). (We used a craft pumpkin so we could keep displaying these for years to come! Just wait till you see our next one)
To make your drip paint pumpkin, just squirt and squeeze. There's really no wrong way to do this, but we all really enjoyed getting the paint up close to curve of the pumpkin and watching it ooze over the edge and drip down the sides!
If you make a drip paint pumpkin of your own, let me know or share a pic with me on Facebook — we'd love to see it!
