Yes, back in Japan and once again eating some great food, and drinking some really good sake.
As with past posts from Japan this one will be filled with photos, but very lacking in dialogue as I don't know where I am or what I'm eating, usually. Where possible I'll tell you what I know, the rest, well just go with it.... And we're off!
I believe the name of this place is ebi-no-hige, which I also believe to mean "the shrimp with a mustache", or "the mustachioed shrimp", something to that effect. The location is somewhere in the Niigata Prefeture, west coast of Japan.
The entry-way of the restaurant
Upon arrival to our dinning room the table was set with a sashimi boat, charcoal grill, and shabu-shabu
Snail
Shrimp
Squid
After photo of the shrimp...
Cooked shrimp w bbq sauce
Some sort of slimy seaweed, pretty terrible
Shabu-shabu
Soooo good
How bout a sake break???
No idea what kind this is. Served and enjoyed in hand-made pottery, pretty awesome
Now lets BBQ!
Just sooo good
This was one of my favorites. Shrimp croquettes and you squeeze lemon over and dip in a bit of salt. I loved these things.
More sake? Heck yeah!
Steamed oysters
My partners in crime
Salad, correct - very boring
Now the rice course
It comes to the table in the large pot that it was cooked in. Portioned out and then broth is added to each serving.
Absolutely delicious
Shrimp carpacio
Red bean ice cream to finish off the meal.
Another great meal, I think I'm still full
Eat, drink, laugh, love
