yup on both scores....the decibel level must be high as you bite into the lightly battered critters. we can dream.

Okay, here's the link from Triky of that hakujin visiting that "fried on both sides" yakisoba: http://www.sendspace.com/file/q8rbpc (35MB).

Not only is the dish and it's preparation fascinating, but the hakujin's Japanese fluency is amazing... :thumbsup: Even the cook/proprietor at the restaurant is stunned. :hehe:

I keep expecting him to rip his mask off and reveal that he's really a nihonjin... :beaten: :hehe:

Great video piece. :victory:

:lol: dude, I couldn't have said it better myself.

in keeping with the foodie video offerings...here's another short video of a Tempura restaurant in Ginza which serves the freshiest ingredients to its customers....in fact the shrimp for the tempura is literally alive a few minutes before the chief prepares it and cooks in front of the customers' eyes...

please check it out! :bow:

Nice video on that tempura shop... Piping hot tempura right from the fryer... Excellent. :victory:

Man, you can't get those shrimp any fresher than live then cooked in front of your eyes.... :thumbsup:

Don't know if I could eat the soft roe... Tempura-fried or no. :sweat:

yup, i don't think i'm a fan either :P i don't typically like roe dishes...with the exception of caviar. i'm talkin' sturgeon caviar...not ikura and the like

I can't deal with eggs any of any kind... Fish, chicken, etc.

Maybe that old SNL Coneheads skit about "fried chicken embryos" affected me psychologically... :sweat: :beaten:

Oooh.

Interesting variation. :victory:

Just saw the videos you guys posted. Man, that Tempura looked de-luscious! Tho I felt sorry for the shrimp as it wiggled around on the cutting board.

yup the yakisoba and the tempura.....that yakisoba would be great anytime but after a night of drinking, that would really hit the spot...

yeah the tempura...i can only imagine how fresh that must taste.....must be incredibly good.

I'm glad the host asked the chef whether he got nervous cooking before his customers. I've always wondered about that after watching Honmamon.

I think you misunderstood...he actually asks the shrimp whether they're nervous before they get thrown in the shrimp onsen (i.e. sesame and corn oil bath)

At least he gives the Shrimp some attention before devouring it.
