2010-04-03 Sat. 在LA的第2天

傍晚 離開了"Getty Museum" 就要來去吃晚餐嚕~

大哥選了這家 位在LA Hollywood Blvd.的" UMAMI Burger "


什麼是"umami"呢? 它是日文"第5味"的意思,也就是說 我們一般人 舌頭對於食物味道的分類 不外乎是:酸甜鹹苦
但是 還有一些味道是無法用這四種來說明的
因此 日文有個字"UMAMI"就是來解釋 "另外一種美好的味道"
(其實 真的以字面上來解釋 它包含了一些化學成份來解釋,不過 說太難 大家也不懂啦~)

What exactly is umami?
Taking its name from Japanese, umami is a pleasant savoury taste imparted by glutamate,
a type of amino acid, and ribonucleotides, including inosinate and guanylate,
which occur naturally in many foods including meat, fish, vegetables and dairy products.
As the taste of umami itself is subtle and blends well with other tastes to expand and round out flavors,
most people don’t recognize umami when they encounter it, but it plays an important role making food taste delicious.

還是來看看 我們今晚吃了什麼吧?!?

menu 光是burger就有9種之多


簡單的桌面擺設  餐紙墊上就是一個大大的漢堡堡  其實 一開始,我還以為是個"大唇印"咧~ 哈!


店裡的佈置其實很日式 想像一下 就是一堆金髮碧眼外國人的吵雜酒吧裡,卻是有著日式的佈置裝飾
(實在是店裡燈光昏暗 拍照效果不是太好,所以 沒有多拍啦~)
