Beef sashimi. Yes, it’s raw and you eat it that way. It was amazing.
This we cooked in the table side grill. Unreal. Look at that marbling!
Tuna sashimi. Varying grades of fat. The highest grade literally melted in my mouth!
Shabu shabu and sukiyaki. Shabu shabu is basically Japanese hot pot. You cook the meet in a flavored broth, then dip it in raw egg and eat. Unbelievable. Sukiyaki style is grilled in a pan with a flavored sauce, then dipped in egg, then eat.
This is the adorable lady that cooked our sukiyaki for us. She was awesome. Spoke no English.
Unpasteurized saké. I’m not a huge saké fan, but this stuff was amazing. We found this little stand up bar buried in the basement of the subway station where the locals drink after work. The best stuff, but reasonably priced. They were amazed, but delighted we were there, because tourists don’t frequent these hidden bars. I think they were excited to try out their english skills.
