ninjababe, little darling that she is, brought me a surprise to work just a bit ago. Seems the produce store now has a small case of Japanese imports, and the they had Red Bean Cakes. I love Red Bean desserts!

There's a Japanese restaurant in one of the hotels at Disneyland, and they cater to the Japanese visitors to the park, so they have a much more traditional menu available, that seasonal as well. I had the most wonderful dessert of sweet rice dumplings in an a thick, hot, red bean paste mixture that was like a soup. God, it was good! The server was tickled that not only had I ordered it, but loved it so much. Usually only the Japanese guests ever ordered from that part of the menu. I would dearly love to have it again some day.

For me it's gyoza and marinated seaweed salad with a hot bowl of udon.

Yep, in the Pacific, the entrance is actually on the outside of the hotel.
