Hi @PorkyBelly,
So glad you liked the Takana Inari! Delicious, right? So much better than the usual Inari / “football” shaped item that’s usually throwaway.
That is some beautiful Aji (and a lot of it)! Raku’s Sashimi is ridiculous.
Thanks for the video on ikejime. Thinking about that (and how few places in the U.S. do that), it’s even crazier than a restaurant like Saison just does it in-house for each live fish for the tasting menu.
