they have this secret way of marinating the wings....it's both savory and sweet, spicy and tart, crunchy (skin) and juicy meat....they then dust it with sesame seeds salt and white pepper.

just a few hundred. down from 500 hundred or so...that ain't crap girl....they weren't all food by the way. in any event, you should see the fanboys and fangirls here talking about their pic collections which number in the thousands....i'm not nearly fanatically...not even remotely.

I thought you would have had more, but 500 is impressive! You're our very own Kuitan!!

Teba-gyoza - fried chicken wings stuffed with gyoza filling.

for what? no problem....that ain't nuthin. just watching doramas, as you do, you'll pick up quite a few expressions that are often used in casual conversation.

point of clarification...normal japanese ppl do not eat that for breakfast, perhaps sumo wrestlers do but that about it.

looks like it has noodles, beef, two kinds of mushrooms <shimeji & enoki i think>, clams and fried pouches of tofu <known as abura-age>, green onions, and chicken meatballs

Tuna nets 35,000 dollars in Tokyo's first 2007 auction

Fri Jan 5, 3:27 PM ET

It may be the year of the pig, but the tuna is still king in Japan where a bluefin netted about 35,000 dollars -- more than a the price of a car -- in the first auction of 2007 at the Tsukiji fish market.

The most expensive sale of the day at the world's largest fish market was a tuna weighing 206.6 kilograms (454.5 pounds) which fetched 4.13 million yen, or 20,000 yen per kilogram, before heading for sushi bars across the capital.

Japan eats a quarter of the world's tuna, more than any other country, but faces pressure from environmentalists who have blamed the global fad for Japanese food for bringing tuna numbers to the brink of extinction.

An international commission in November reduced the world's gross catch of bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean from 32,000 tons this year to 29,500 tons for 2007, a move likely to lead to an import crunch in Japan.

Japan has also accepted a major cut in its quota for southern bluefin tuna in the Pacific Ocean as punishment for overfishing.

But the first bluefin tuna bidding of this year was no big surprise compared with recent years, according to sushi restaurant chain Kiyomura, which bought the 35,000-dollar tuna.

"The price of bluefin tuna was about the average," said Kiyomura spokesman Masaki Kimura. "But the end prices of tuna, especially southern bluefin tuna and big-eyed tuna, seem to be already soaring these days."

"As long as consumers demand tuna, I think the price will go up much higher," he said.

Warning though, it's a lightly seasoned dish (delicate if you will), so i highly recommend that you eat that before anything that will overpower it. Basically, for us, its the first or second dish. Do not go crazy w/ the lemon, just a drop or two is usually good for me. My buddy likes to squeeze hard and drizzle everything, but if you dont eat it fast enough, they get soggy.
