Got rice?

Pigeons gather to snack on spilt rice, next to a stack of empty rice sacks piled neatly on the sidewalk corner.

Rice generally figures largely in the local diet, but lately I've been more interested in the japanese-style mochi. Had some really good grilled mochi buta-maki at KAZU Sumi-yaki on Wednesday night. KAZU is one of my all-time favourite restaurants that I heartily recommend to friends - great food, excellent value. One of these days I'll get around to doing a blog entry for the place, I promise. :)
