Well, this retro Showa-themed yakiniku place (Japanese-style Korean barbecue) looked innocent enough. Little did I know that I’d be eating raw heart and liver within a few minutes upon entering. I can definitely live happily without eating most of the stuff again, but, hey, now and then I need to push my limits. Most of the meat/organs/guts we ate were cooked at the table, by the way, but the second photo, although blurry, is of the liver meant to be eaten raw (and done that way). P.S. I definitely realize the real appeal of this place is not in shocking/grossing out Americans… it’s all about the texture of the food (very important in Japan!).
レトロなお店だね～
どこにあるの？行ってみたいな。
There’s a reason that Yakiniku starts with “Yak.” As in, barf.
yummy. Well its better than sansho I suppose…
じゃあ、レストランがどこかおしえるけど、俺はとなりでタイ料理を食べるよ。
The only thing that was vomit-inducing was the intestines (upper left corner of the last picture). And have to admit I didn’t even try them…
Don’t talk about sansho, it makes me hungry. The stuff is magic.
