Today, my sister-in-law and I ventured to Japantown for some food and fun. As self-proclaimed “paper” addicts, we had a great time looking at the variety of stationery stores filled with notebooks, cards, and pens. All of this shopping made us hungry. We decided to give Osakaya a try since they have a $13.95 lunch special. 

We both opted for the Number 2: Ramen and a California roll. And we also splurged and ordered the edamame. 

  
The edamame was lightly salted and slightly addictive. The ramen had a flavorful broth and was served piping hot, which helped lift me out of the foggy SF day.  And the California roll had ripe avocado and good texture. All and all, it was a decent lunch. Was it the best ramen I’ve ever tasted? No. But, it was tasty and worthy of being a lunch special. I’d go back. It’s all about trying new things!
