Seriously...I had never even heard about it....I happened to be eating at a sushi bar with a friend a long time ago one evening and the chef was making the aji no hone for someone else and I asked him what he was doing and he gave my friend and I some to try it...it was pretty darn tasty. :)

Not really a mackerel fan, but at those temps, the fishiness is probably blown away... :victory:

Yeah there really is no fishiness to speak of...it's mostly bones after all :)
It's like a crispy, fried snack...akin to senbei or chips to be honest....quite delightful actually.

I'll have to ask if my local sushi restaurant can make that... :victory:

Definitely....they can make it out of other fish bones as well....like Iwashi (Sardines).

Damn...! :drooling:

Not a fan of asparagus either, but if you wrap just about anything with pork/bacon, I'll eat it. :beaten: :bonk:

The dishes above are near home base for you....restaurant is called Otafuku. It's only minutes away from Marukai. That place is especially known for it's soba though. Handmade noodles. Lots of salarymen go there for lunch. It's a hole in the wall but the food is good.

I've only been there at lunch for the soba.

It's sad/pathetic that all these places are essentially in my backyard and I don't know of them and haven't checked them out... :ashamed:

That's what the discussion in this thread is for :victory: I'm sure lots don't know about these places...hell, I didn't...I had to find them myself...and either drag some peeps (not really!) to go with me or check 'em out myself.
