Now I'm Never Going Back Home

Living in Japan, what do you miss the most about home? After the stock response of family and friends, I would have to say it’s creature comforts like insulated housing, good beer, and American comic books (manga fills a separate void).

Oh, and burritos.

Forget frescos and earth tones, industrial minimalism is the new face of American Mexican dining

Thank god for Frijoles, an authentic Qdoba/Chipolte/Baja Fresh style burrito and taco joint that opened up shop just a few weeks ago in Azabu-Juban. The plump stuffed self-supporting burritos (the true test of any burrito is whether or not it can stand up on its own) you thought you forever left behind in America are back. Real sour cream! Guacamole! FREE DRINK REFILLS!

Sure, you can gorge yourself on beefbowls, yaki-niku, or oversized ramen, but none of them provide the heartfelt satisfaction that comes from impregnating yourself with a burrito. And believe me, that little guy can kick.

Imagine this inside of you

REAL fountain drinks, not that swill they serve at family restaurants

I’m not trying to convince you to go. We didn't start taking on sponsers. This is a public service announcement. Consider it your stocking stuffer from TSB.

  1. Hopefully this chain becomes popular... I'm sick of having to buy 5,000¥ worth of ingredients at Meijiya everytime I want to make burritos...
