My husband and I have been frequenting the best-in-the-world Japanese restaurant for almost 7 years now, ever since we moved back to San Diego. The restaurant’s name is Sapporo and it’s in Ocean Beach, CA. My children have now been going for their entire lives. It’s one of our pleasures in life.
Sapporo consistently serves the freshest, most delicious sushi and fabulous, well, everything. As my husband said last night: “Do you realize we’ve been going there forever and have never once had a bad experience?” If that doesn’t say it all, nothing will.
Sushi is an odd food for kids, something they don’t typically eat. But Japanese restaurants have a variety of food that kids will take to more easily. Such foods include teriyaki chicken, edamame, rice, miso soup, noodles, and vegetable tempura. My daughter requests that we take her to Sapporo for dinner and her dinner consists of edamame (both of my kids enjoy the fun of popping the soy beans out of their pods), miso soup, and rice. The miso soup is salty, and the owner told us that in Japan they put the rice in the soup because the kids love the flavor of the soup and will eat more rice this way. It works like a charm.
My daughter turned 4 in October and last night was the first night she actually really, really wanted to try the sushi. We let her try a California roll; it’s merely imitation crab, cucumber, avocado, seaweed, and rice. Perfectly harmless. She took a good bite, seemed to enjoy it, but then couldn’t get much past the sea weed. Sushi is an acquired taste, and we told her we were proud of her trying something new, she didn’t have to like it.
The kids were SO good at dinner last night, and it’s been awhile since we got out for dinner, so it’s was extra pleasant. They really enjoy their time there, they really enjoy their food. Which is great, because we enjoy Sapporo more than any other restaurant in the world.
