For months we have all watched as a new, massive, shopping mall was constructed right next to Kanazawa Station. This new center, Forus Kanazawa, was eagerly anticipated as the entire top floor is a movie theater. No more biking to the wilds of Nonoichi, or biking past the station to Renais. Here was salvation, cinema in the heart of Kanazawa. Hurray!
Well the day finally came, yesterday November 2nd was opening day. I went down to check out the movie theater, and a few other odds and ends. There is a ground floor Starbucks that will be very nice to have when catching an early morning JR express. There are of course lots of shops for boring things like clothing, furniture, jewelry, etc. *yawn* Yet salvation awaits on the 6th floor...
The Food Floor! Dozens of delicious looking eateries! Being opening day, they were all packed, but I will be back, many times. Chinese, Italian, Gumbo and Oysters, Tofu, Crepes, Korean... and best of all...
MEXICAN!!!!
Finally a mexican restaurant closer than Osaka. I cry a little when I think about it. I will surely sample it today, and let everybody know how it fares. Hmm enchiladas...

once you haven't had real Mexican food for a couple months, anything remotely close is amazing. We went at least once a month to a Mexican place we found in Budapest that was, in all honestly, pretty inauthentically awful. Or this summer, we ended up going to "Mad Mex" in State College and relishing its pseudo-mexican food. I hope the place in Kanazawa is everything you're hoping for, but even as you enjoy it, bear in mind that you'll have what amounts to an epiphany when you get back home.
