Off Track: Our Top 6 Okazuya
Ahh okazuya. Growing up in the islands, a stop at your local Japanese-style delicatessen meant you got good marks on your report card, were going on a field trip or finally had enough quarters to purchase a super filling snack.
The build-your-own plate lunch format of okazuya meant that piece by piece, you could create the exact meal of your heart’s desire. From shiso ume musubi and kinpira gobo to shoyu hot dog and fried chicken, comfort food overflowed what in small-kid time seemed like massive platters. The earlier you went, the better the selection – and if you were lucky, they’d even ask which piece you wanted from the display.
