That's pretty dang good, but what would be even more perfect on a cold nite, is a warm gift with yuko inside. :naughty: :hehe:

that's a good question and i wouldn't arbitrarily give you a recommendation because i can't emphatically give you one with whole heart....hmm...i don't eat unagi donburis all that much so i don't have much experience in that regard...it is tasty when done right and when the eel is good quality.

yes my young compatriot...notice how the panko (the japanese bread crumbs) are more like flakes then mere itty-bitty crumbs...it gives so much more crunh and texture to the pork cutlet

That's cool, cause i haven't found one that didn't taste like supermarket fridge bento.

that's the thing isn't it? the unagi is pre-broiled frozen shiet you can get yourself as opposed to freshly broiled or grilled....

now that's a bowl of ramen...from some place in Nishi-Azabu near Roppongi Hills
