Snack Attack!

Grumble...grumble...After seeing the brief video above, my tummy hungreee!  Grumbledy-grum-grum.

Hey, Belinda Belly.  I hear you grumbling down there. What's that? You're feeling peckish.  Well, I know just the place for a bit of gastronomic enjoyment.  Nijiya Market, here we come!
Check out the wide selection of convenient, pre-packaged goodness. I love Japanese cuisine and at Nijiya market, which is located at the nucleus of Japantown (Post and Webster), one can discover culinary cuteness rolled into delicious delectability. It's quite a sight to behold, believe me this pic does not do it justice, you have to run like a reindeer to Japantown and check it out. Go, Bambi, go!
When you ordered that tempura/teriyaki combo plate at your favorite Japanese restaurant, did you ever wonder what dressing your they poured on top of that side salad of cabbage? Well, wonder no more!  They have it at Nijiya market.  If you're lucky, it will even be on sale. I recommend the miso based one; it's creamy and sweet!
Check out the raw tuna with spicy mayo sauce, and to the right the fish roe looks so ready to explode in your mouth!  Love it when they pop...pop...poppitypop...
Above are different kinds of Furikake bottles.  They're basically enhancers of steamed rice; they contain shredded seaweed, sesame seed, shaved bonito, etc.  It all depends on your taste. Domo Arigato, Nijiya Market for being Belinda Belly's savior when she's hungry.
