<p>OP, sorry your thread got hijacked so rudely.</p>
<p>fyi, there are Japanese sections of town in both San Francisco and Los Angeles where you can find lots of Japanese restaurants and stores. There are also sushi and other Japanese restaurants all over the state as it is very popular food, there is also a fast food chain called Yoshinoya Beef Bowl, but likely none of it to compare to Japan I’m sure.</p>
