Chu-toro and other goodies.


Yesterday was so nice that I decided to head down to the Charles River to see if the sakura near the Hatch Shell are in bloom yet. They aren't, but it was a nice walk and left me with a hefty appetite, so I headed to Porter Square and got a nice hot plate of katsu-kari at Cafe Mami.

On my way out I quickly walked through Kotobukiya to grab some onigiri and other goodies. They always have fresh, sushi grade fish for sale so I gave it a quick look and noticed chu-toro, which you rarely see for sale like this. It was about $8, but much cheaper than you'd ever find it in a restaurant so I grabbed some along with some salmon and maguro for dinner.

I didn't realize until I got home that I had no soy sauce in the house (it spilled all over the inside of the refrigerator) so I improvised and used soba dipping sauce instead. It worked out OK.

I would fear for my heart's health if I lived as close to that place as you do.

We had shoyu, but it was a bottle that did not close (it had the two holes on top) and Pam has some "issues" with slamming doors. She slammed the frig door and spilled it all over the place. Waiting to go to the Asian grocery to replace it.
