It's been a while... I think today's a gyoza night. :drooling:

They're opening an Izakaya around the corner from where I stay. :metaldevil:
There goes my retirement savings. :applaud:

That's only if the food is any good, ne? ;)

Speaking of which, I need to take my gyoza out of the freezer. :sweat:

^ Bound to be a lot of tori no karaage ;)

Ate the most delicious grilled sea scallops tonight..... :mrgreen:

Hmm, what am I gonna have for dinner tonight?

After yesterday's gyoza, anything else will be a letdown. :sweat:

For all who love gyoza:

Came to the conclusion that I don't like thin crust pizza.

:drooling: Now I'm in a sushi mood! Though I prefer anago to unagi these days.

Is there that much of a difference in flavor?

I've always had unagi by default... :sweat:

Somewhat, but it's also texture. Anago is suppose to be leaner, so it's firmer and meatier than unagi. They usually also use less sauce so it's not so sugary, letting you taste the eel more.

If it's leaner, then it has less fat... And we all know that fat is flavor. :mrgreen:

Guess I'll have to try it next time. :victory:

Gosh, B-san, now I'm not only jealous of your meal, but bitter as well! :beaten:

I'm really enjoying the eel pic. :drooling:

Bitter? :sweat:
