For the most part, all the meat is in the tail, and that's the way it's usually served (unless you're in a Chinese restaurant)...

Clams, oysters, mussels, etc.: Bleah. :bleh:

I don't mind clam cakes all that much. But oysters? >>barf<< :bleh:

Bizarrely, I love clam chowder.

Oysters? Yeech. They're like giant phlegm balls inside a shell.

bmwracer wrote:Okay, I'm semi-coherent now, so lemme remember what we had at Musha last night:

Thin-sliced tako with a garlic vinaigrette... Excellent.
Musha fried chicken... Excellent as well, especially with the ponzu dipping sauce
Croquettes consisting of leeks, tuna, etc... Can't remember all the ingredients, but the ginger was too strong and it overpowered everything else... So-so.
Ebi Mayo Mayo... Tempura shrimp with two different mayos drizzled on top... Delish!
Buta Kimchi... Braised pork with kimchi... Tender and spicy! :victory:
Baguette Gratin... small French baguettes filled with scallops, shrimp (?), and melted cheese over the top... Very good.
One other one, but I can't remember it... :headscratch:

sounds like a sumptuous feast, as to be expected. tasty treats....:drooling:

Speaking of which, what was the name of that yakitori restaurant in Torrance, near the Home Depot? :headscratch:

had Santoka Raumen at Mitsuwa food court....close to Daikokuya's quality of raumen, but not quite in my opinion, but close.

Ramen and rice or just ramen?

I like the ramen and rice combo... Great stuff.

I must be mistaken then... I thought it was in the same lot as the Home Depot, In 'n' Out, Claim Jumper, etc... :headscratch:

I'm delusional: must be yesterday's sake. :sweat:
