I was pretty miserable when I'd hit the international markets and discover that there would be no more corned beef hash and Hamburger Helper.  These aren't exactly the healthiest of foods, but I enjoy them, especially corned beef hash because it reminds me of home and my dad (in a positive way).  Well, I decided to give National Azabu in Hiroo another shot and lo and behold!  Not just Hamburger Helper but corned beef hash!

I've lived in Japan for 4 1/2 years now, but I've been here since 1999.  The one lesson I learned is that Japan goes through frequent trends and seasonal changes that it's hard to predict when one fad will come and go.  Well, with food, imports and domestic goods constantly change.  But at least for now, this little blessing will satisfy my craving (temporarily).
