What? edible seaweed rice triangle
When/Where? brunch on way to work
Comments: Well, this is one of those times when we don't really have an english word for the Japanese word. Hijiki, it's a kind of edible seaweed. Wait a minute, I just looked it up and we DO have the word in english. Hizikia fusiformis. Okay, yeah I know you dont know that. Lets just say eat-able seaweed rice triangle (110yen)! with lemon tea, the hot type. (120yen) During the cold months, if you didnt know, you can get some drinks hot from vending machines, nice!
