Okinawa Raw Sugar Sea Salt Nitro Latte (New) - SpireWorks®


If you follow me, you know I like the new
SpireWorks® first store in Westwood.

Read my Westwood SpireWorks® post HERE


Now that their Eagle Rock location has opened,
(Grand Opening on January 24, 2017)
this one is a lot closer to me.

Which means, 
I can come in just for one of my favorites,
Nitro Brew Coffee.


What's Nitro Brewed Coffee?

It's coffee that has been infused with nitrogen gas.
Nitro brewed coffee is creamier and a richer taste.  
IMO, the acidity is lower and no need to add cream
(if you like it that way).


Yup, SpireWorks® has Nitro Brewed Coffee,
BUT, they've taken it up a notch.

What's Okinawa Raw Sugar?

Okinawa is an island,
South of the main island of Japan,
and has a more tropical climate
where sugarcane is a major crop.

They say that Japan holds the longest life expectancy 
title in the world and Okinawa for many years
touted as the area of Japan with the longest life expectancy.
Some say, it may be due to the consumption of 
their pure black sugar in their diet.

We don't see much of this prized black sugar in the U.S.,
most are juiced for locals, tourists,
made into Kokuto black rock sugar,
and other products.

NOTE:  I'm not saying that you'll live longer
if you consume Okinawa Raw Sugar.


With consulting chef, Kuniko Yagi,
who created this exclusive latte.

You might recognize her from Top Chef Seattle
(Season 10)


in addition to one of their destinations,
a sandwich or a bowl,
add this amazing nitro brew coffee
and up it with the Okinawa Raw Sugar Sea Salt Latte.

Remember, it's only available at SpireWorks®.

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i

Hidden Little Tokyo: Cheap Eats

I usually take the Metro Gold Line to Downtown Los Angeles.  Traffic is usually bad and then I have no idea where to park.  Although some of my friends who know I'm downtown a lot, think I know where all the places to park, this is why I take the Metro.  As I was heading into town on this trip, overheard 2 guys talking about only having $5 and wanting to get something to eat. I know there are places in Little Tokyo where you can get something to eat in the $5 range, here's what I've found: See What Jay Eats... Half California Roll and Half Spicy Tuna Roll (includes miso soup) $3.95 Little Tokyo Sushi This is a grab and go kiosk inside the Little Tokyo Market Place.  They have a variety of sushi combinations ranging in price from a $2.50 hand roll to $12+. Little Tokyo Sushi at the Little Tokyo Market Place (former Mitsuwa Marketplace) 333 S. Alameda St #100 Los Angeles, CA 90012 (213) 617-0343 Niku (Beef) Udon  $5.00

Recipe: Ahi Masago Poke - May 2012

Image
Where do you get good poke in Southern California? If there is a place, I haven't found it yet. I'm really picky when it comes to poke, so I make my own. Having competed in the Sam Choy Poke Festival on the Big Island in 2003, I got to try all kinds and some with imitation crab and tofu. But, I prefer the simple kine, like in my Ahi Poke recipe. Ahi Masago Poke This is my version of Alicia's Market "Wasabi Ahi Masago Poke" Alicia's Market is my first stop in Honolulu after I leave the airport. First Stop Honolulu: Alicia's Market Yellowfin Tuna I start with 1.5 lbs of chopped sashimi grade tuna My Ingredients Low Salt Soy Sauce White Sesame Oil I start with 4 TBS of soy sauce and 2 TBS of white sesame oil. As you mix in, the tuna will absorb the liquid, you can add more in later. Add in a sweet white onion and green onions The secret is washing the onions with water a
