I would love a legit yakitori lesson, particularly how to make a good tare

This is the world's best tare recipe, trust me. I actually used mizuame and it makes a world of difference.

Looks like ra-yu/chili oil. A few drops can go a long way.

Someone else may have a more accurate answer, however.

Looks like a saury, or sanma. They're an oily fish, I think?

Yeah, I'm getting some serious noodle envy. However, I think you were supposed to be looking for konbu, rather than wakame. There's a pretty big difference.

Oh okay, I gotcha. Konbu is thicker and sold in large strips, and imparts much more umami and MSG, while wakame is dramatically thinner and usually comes in shriveled dried flakes. But different strokes, so I trust you to use what you want in what you like.

Sorry if I'm sperging, I really really like my seaweed. :blush:

This past week when I was starving with not much to eat in the house, I made miso soup, threw some rice in, and topped with torn nori and furikake. It was like chazuke without the tea. Pretty drat delicious and filling to boot.

Not that I have any right providing insight when it comes to plants (because I kill anything green that comes into my possession) but aren't you supposed to pinch them as soon as it starts budding?

That looks great. Is that smoked bacon on top? How was it? It didn't overpower the other flavors did it?

Goddddd why is Japanese mayo so good

Went to a small family restaurant nearby and ordered some truffle fries. It was gimmicky as hell, we couldn't taste any trace of truffle (not that we would know in the first place), and the fries came to the table cold. The mayo made it all better though.
