shabu shabu


shabu shabu, originally uploaded by renfield.

Mai-chan took me out to lunch because I'm always helping her write English emails. We went to shabu shabu, which for the non-Japanese inclined is the sound of cooking incredibly thin meat in boiling water. Here we have Japan's finest pork and beef, sliced translucent thin, and after cooking to be dipped in either the tart ponzu or the sesame-delightful goma sauce. I ate four plates and two bowls of rice, which put Mai-chan back around 60 bucks US. But I am so worth it.

Mmmmm, Shabu-shabu. It's been a very long time, but I still remember how good it is. And you are definitely worth it, Ren.
