Haha...perhaps that gets lost in translation in Japan...or maybe they are just ketchi with the sauce.

I figure lost in transalation. They need to make it sloppy like the Teri-burger.

MOS Burger is notorious for having the sloppiest burgers. I think that is the reason why their food is served in a basket.

The Blue Zoo is gorgeous inside, with blue marble floors and stunning glass tile work. We loved the menu too, pricey but they gave you an unusual and original menu. I still remember the Wild blueberry buttermilk tart for dessert.... :drooling: and I am not a dessert fan normally.

Do he have an L.A. restaurant?

Wow that sounds amazing! I don't have much of sweet tooth so I'm not big on desserts either :)

Unfortunately, I don't thing so...I think his empire is mainly on the East Coast...but I will say this...when I visited Tokyo five years ago I noticed he had a branch of his Olives Restaurant in Roppongi Hills...which is a very affluent neighborhood in Tokyo. So he definitely has international credibility.

Yeah you're right. This isn't a picture of mine, but I just want to show you what Shishamo looks like...it's a really small, but mighty tasty fish.

Yeah? Flavor memories! We all have them :)

Sometimes the smaller delicate fish come out better I think when used as tempura...I think a better balance in terms of texture, taste, and moisture is achieved.

Most definitely... If it's done right, else it's oily like eating one of those King Oscar sardines... :bleh:

I think you and I mentioned how Komatsu on Carson is a pretty darn good tempura restuarant...best one I've ever been to in L.A. anyhow.
