Tonight I finally meet the long-awaited demon scorpionfish… Since it’s served live, it’s twitching!!!
It’s cold, so no Kokuryō! During the cold season we head to Shiokaze, just a few minutes’ walk away, for fish, Japanese sake, and hot pot.
We reliably wet our whistles with something like Akaboshi beer.
Raw hijiki and wasabi mayo go together so well—it’s perfect!
The sashimi is also perfectly fresh and perfect!
As you get older, you really start to understand the appeal of sampling lots of different varieties in small bowls.
This one—shochu with hot mustard soaked in it—is really good.
