NO BACON IN SIGHT AT FUKAGAWA FOR A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE BREAKFAST  by Abby Abanes

 

JAPANESE BREAKFAST
 

Traditional Japanese breakfast definitely strays from the Western tradition of bacon and eggs, pancakes and waffles and in fact, is more like a meal you'd have for lunch or even dinner. In doing research to find out what restaurant serves a Japanese breakfast in the LA area, one place came up over and over and that was Fukagawa in the city of Gardena.
