California Dreaming 💯 . Back in the Bay and enjoyed a weekend brunch prior to visiting San Francisco’s Legion of Honor . Cassava is the perfect weekend brunch spot and the fusion dishes reminded me of the creativity and flavors that epitomize why I love living in the California Bay Area . Chef Owner Yuka Ioroi is the consummate hostess and stopped by several times to ask how the dishes were (as well as provide tips on natto that I usually dislike) as well as the news that Cassava is moving to a new home in SF’s North Beach . Chef Yuka runs Cassava with husband Chef Owner Kristoffer Toliao and while their pedigree includes stints with Dominque Crenn, hospitality and friendliness is a key distinguishing factor beyond the amazing food . I feel lucky to have discovered this gem and look forward to checking them out in North Beach . Their Japanese breakfast is easily the best rendition I’ve had stateside and I couldn’t help but order their house-made natto (which I loved!) . 📷 Fried Chicken Sando $16 ~ house baked bun, Pete’s live butter lettuce, early girl tomato jam, basil aioli, cilantro, 6 oz buttermilk batter chicken thigh / Japanese Breakfast $17 ~ koshihikari rice, simmered hijiki, pickled cucumbers, miso tomato corn, sake marinated Marin Coast salmon, citrus kosho, Mendocino kombu dashi miso soup with shiitake mushroom, house furikake, soft poached egg, Add House Natto $2 / Slow Braised Lamb Riblets $19 ~ hibiscus barbecue glaze, cilantro blossoms, house pickles / Champagne Cocktail $12 ~ Montsarra cava, sugar cube, Angostura bitters / Red Hot One $11 ~ beer, tomato juice, chili infused Sabe blanco chile, white pepper, lime, pickled cucumber . 📍Cassava (San Francisco, CA) . #sfeats #yelpbayarea #japaneseeats #fusion #eatersf #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #globaleats #foodphotography #eatnorthamerica #foodsharinggroup (at Cassava) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChQAju-PAWk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Food memories of our last visit in SF before the pandemic.
We enjoyed a such a diverse range of food in San Francisco from:
🌮 Mexican food in Mission District
🍣 Sushi in Japantown
🥡 Late night eats in Chinatown
🍝 Pasta, pizza and Italian deli sandwich in North Beach
🦞 Clam chowder in Fisherman’s Wharf
🍞 Breads in Ferry Building
🍺 Devil Eggs and craft beers at the Dogpatch
This trip we focused on startup pitching so couldn’t enjoy as much. This trip with be a catch up with friends. Hopefully we can share many good food memories.

Japanese Market 💯 . Fugetsu is a okonomiyaki specialist hailing from Osaka, Japan and their two locations in the South Bay have been on my to try list . Although okonomiyaki is not among my favorite dishes, it does remind me of Asia so I was happy to stop by . During COVID, the restaurant has pivoted to a grab and go market and the San Jose location is a welcome area with diverse food offerings, drinks, and even toys . I grabbed a signature of the signature okonomiyaki but also found fresh tuna tataki, numerous onigiri (more types than next door Clover Bakery), and multiple saba dishes . All in all, it’s a great stop to supplement a visit to nearby Mitsuwa Market or Clover Bakery . 📷 Okonomiyaki Sampler $15 / Tuna Tataki / Saba / Saba Onigiri, Sake Ikura Onigiri, Unagi Onigiri / Warabi Mochi / Anchovy Potato Salad . 📍Fugetsu San Jose (San Jose, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpbarea #japanesefood #market #okonomiyaki #sanjoseeats #sfeats #bayareaeats #eatersf #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodphotography (at Fugetsu USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVyGQ6jvYAi/?utm_medium=tumblr
