Spark is strictly Japanese, ditto for Suruki on 4th in downtown SM. Takahashi is Hawaiian and doesn't even qualify as being Japanese. Asian/Chinese would be more like Marina in Foster City/San Mateo which I think is on Delaware near Hillsdale. > > * Farmers' markets > - There was one in FC at Fashion Island.

It's in the Burlingame Plaza with the Long's and across the street from a Lucky supermarket. They make fantastic desserts. Their phone number is 650 697-6148. Tony Purmal [email removed]
