This Musubi Love in Encinitas's Leucadia neighborhood is the city's first permitted Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operation, producing Hawaiian-style musubi and Japanese comfort food from a permitted Vulcan Avenue kitchen that launched in 2024. Each musubi is assembled to order with sticky rice, nori seaweed, and proteins ranging from Spam katsu to Bachan's Japanese BBQ chicken tenders, a build-your-own format that mirrors the customizable teriyaki plating at Surf Brothers Teriyaki on Encinitas Boulevard. The California MEHKO program, authorized since 2019, allows operators to prepare and sell food directly from a permitted home kitchen under strict food-safety standards, and this Leucadia operation earned a perfect 100-out-of-100 San Diego County health inspection score. Orders are placed online and picked up curbside from the Vulcan Avenue address near the Leucadia Farmers Market corridor, adding a grab-and-go takeout option alongside the sit-down cafes on the 101 like Sip-N-Sea: Coffee + Açaí. The signature Katsu Spam musubi wraps a panko-breaded, deep-fried Spam slice with seasoned rice and housemade spicy mayo inside a hand-rolled nori sheet.
