BBQ: American Meets Japanese

Because no Labor Day Weekend should be without one, we had a BBQ with our Japanese friends at the beach. When Japan meets America at the grill, you get real charcoal, big meat,  yaki onigiri, tofu pockets with negi, and potatoes wrapped in wet newspaper and foil buried in the coals. Being a holiday, playing with your food is encouraged- whack the watermelon wearing a blindfold and amble about on uneven ground after a few spins for a bit of Japanese summer fun. Singing for sake is also welcomed.
