菜 (greens, vegetable, side dish) popped up in my kanji practice last week, and then it showed up again when I went out to dinner and saw it on the menu! It becomes a part of 野菜 (vegetable) but strangely enough disappears in 精進揚げ (vegetable tempura). Probably one of the most exciting things about learning (for me) is when I get to apply it in real life scenarios. I will read a menu I know by heart over again just to see if there’s anything new I recognize since the last time I visited. Speaking of menus, 永次 and I found a new restaurant that serves Japanese cuisine! (One of our favorites closed down, so we need to find a new place!) Anyway, we really enjoyed the food, the decor, and the prices- so we’ll definitely be back. And they have 稲荷寿司 (inarizushi) – which is one of my favorite things to munch. 桃 out!
