Rice Versa tasting event at Harikawa

westwood  

It was little before I went to eat Saga wagyu course at Harikawa, we had Rice Versa tasting event. Rice Versa is available at Harikawa, also at M cafe de Chaya.

Rice Versa has 3 different flavors, brown rice, quinoa, and teriyaki, and they are low fat low calorie. I got to take some home with me and I already made few rice versa dishes. It's easy to cook and I love it.

Saga wagyu course menu at Wadatsumi by Harikawa

I got to taste Saga Kuroge wagyu course menu at Harikawa recently. They are currently having SAGA wagyu beef fair and this course menu is only available til 3/31 so you still have some time to check it out. You don't wanna miss it. If you are not familiar with kuroge wagyu beef, try it, because it's the top quality meat from Japan. You get to eat Saga wagyu without going to Japan! This special course menu is available for $39. I really enjoyed everything. My favorites were beef steak, and roast beef salad.

This isn't part of the menu, but we ordered Iichiko yuzu shochu, super delicious.

Today's homemade ice cream. Okinawan brown sugar ice cream.

Iichiko was having promotion this day, so we stayed and had more shochu after finished eating.

Ami sushi is probably Korean owned Japanese restaurant in Westwood. Not the place for the best sushi but it's fine, cheap and they have all you can eat sushi, and happy hours.

While I was here, some of the young workers sat down next to me and we could hear all their conversations. We just couldn't believe what they were talking about and I wish I could write here but I can't. Because the word they were using are really naughty.

All the photos and menu is from Oct.2011.
