We did not get to try the motsunabe at Goku the last time so we were here tonight for that.
A refreshing Sapporo and ginger ale to start.
There's also a half and half pint of the lager and the dark. So that's not Kilkenny in there.
Munchies while waiting for the motsunabe. They have pretty tasty ika geso karaage with a crunchy batter. That batter reminded me of dried beancurd for some reasons.
Shio yakisoba. This was kinda nice without the Worcestershire-y sauce they normally stir fry the regular rendition with. Some crunch from bean sprouts and cabbage and a bit zesty tanginess from the squeeze of lemon made the noodles.
Fried sweet potato with butter. And ketchup.
Grilled shishamo was okay. Not as pregnant as I would have preferred.
So this was our first motsunabe. If anyone's wondering what they are, they're a stew with offal. Beef intestines to be specific. There were a few flavours to choose for the broth. This one was natto miso. Broth was rich, sweet and savoury altogether. Nice one.
But the intestines were super chewy. I managed a few pieces before I gave up on them. Just wondering at this point if that's the way it is for motsunabe or is it just here.
