San A

My daughter and grand daughter are visiting me. My daughter loves to go to San A in Hamby Town, Chatan, a shopping complex. There's a market and there's prepared food for sale. Here's the lunch we got for ourselves on Saturday and Sunday.



First one has sushi (598 yen), sukiyaki (398 yen) and stir-fried pork liver/chives (298 yen).



Second has sushi again, shrimp tempura (398 yen) and kinpira (158 yen).

Easy, quick things for lunch.

Usually I just cook canned sardines from the U.S. or Canada as my mother did for my family as we were growing up - slowly frying with sliced onion, shoyu, sugar and some red wine vinegar. Never had the tomato sauce type even though available in the U.S. Here is my usual sardines and onions as we called it;
