Mexico by way of Japan

Having lived in Mexico and stayed in Japan for extended periods of time, their respective cuisines are among my favorite.

That's why it was a thrill to find this Mexican-Japanese hybrid snack at the nearby Tokyo Tokyo.

Yup, it's a Makirrito! A cross between a maki and a burrito.

Well, if you want to be technical about it, the burrito isn't Mexican food. One thing I learned during my stay there was that Mexico doesn't make or serve burrito. It's more of an American concept, developed by border towns to cater to "U.S. Americans."

The taste and texture are both interesting, but it's so heavy! I should be having this as lunch next time.

Yes, it's good that it warrants a next time.
