Nico: Me and MJ live in really good place, I think. Because there are lots of yummy restaurants near our apartment. Italian, Indian, Yakitori(Japanese bbq chicken), bakery restaurant, and other small places and beautiful patisserie with cafe. I can't help feeling I did a good job of choosing our place to live. Our apartment is a bit strange even for Japan, but I'll write about it next time.
Anyway, guess where we went for dinner tonight?
We went to have `shabu-shabu'.
This restaurant is named `Kin no buta' (it means golden pig). A shabu shabu restaurant.
Do you know shabu-shabu?
Shabu-shabu is one of the one-pot dishes famous in Japan.
Thinly sliced beef and pork waved through hot kelp flavored stock or soup, and then eaten with ponzu or sesame dipping sauces.
We chose kelp stock and citrus flavored stock tonight.
This is thinly sliced beef.
Waving through hot stock for a few sec.
Which dipping sauce should I try first?
I chose sesame sauce for first dipping.
I love sesame sauce. But citrus flavored stock was unbelievably yummy!!!
This is `tsumire'. It is like pork mince with spice. It is in a bamboo cylinder.
You make it into meatballs as you put into the stock. Don't put it all in at once. It'll be one huge meatball like sausage. Well, I suppose that would be yummy too.
Ahhh, we are soooo full. They were too yummy to stop eating.
Oh! Don't forget to have noodles as well. Udon and ramen noodle are really yummy with that stocks and dipping sauces.
