I tried ginger beer from Costco the other day. It is a non-alcoholic beverage. It has ginger and root beer in it. My roommate got it from Costco the other day. It has a ginger kick to it, but refreshing. I am hooked. Speaking of food, we have a few Japanese grocery stores around San Diego. They are mainly located in the Convoy area. I go to Mitsuwa, and NIjiya sometimes. The food is so so, but so expensive. I am surprised at how many foods in the store are made in America. Miso, rice, mochi treats. In Japan there is a trend of eating what is produced in the area. I always loved that idea. I wonder how that applies to foods at the international super markets. I know that some foods are imported from Japan. Frozen, then defrosted in the coolers where they are sold.
They have Japanese vegetables as well. I sometimes shop at these stores, but prefer shopping at the local grocery stores when I`m in America. It`s a little weird to think that I can get most Japanese food sold in Japan in America. Of course I do love my occasional mochi, or ramen:)
