Horenso Gomaae!

Posted By SamBach On July 10, 2006 @ 6:58 pm In Restaurant Sightings, More Sex | 2 Comments

A question for anyone who has relocated from one part of the country (or world) to another: Are there favorite foods you could easily get where you used to live that are hard or impossible to find where you live now? (Displaced Midwesterners… when was the last time you saw a deep-fried tenderloin?)        

There are a few things I have had difficulty finding since moving from San Francisco to Portland… in the current hot weather, top of the list is: horenso ohitashi or horenso gomaae - a Japanese steamed/boiled spinach served cold in a light sauce with bonito flakes or sesame, respectively. I’ve found one “sushi train” place that sometimes has goma-ae, but not always. It’s cool, a little salty, a little sweet, and is lovely on a hot day like today.

What do you miss?
