Can you?

Kamirori, a Japanese restaurant along Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City, serves uni (sea urchin) sashimi in cucumber cups with calamansi, a little plate of soy sauce and a dab of wasabi paste. Do you think you can eat it? I can't. This was my friend's order, not mine.

  8. Sorry... I don't like Japanese food. I don't know why. Might be the taste not like Indonesian food, hahaha...

  9. I looks pretty but I could never put it in my mouth. Wasabi should be illegal :P

  10. Looks delicious!!
    In Japan, they usually use Nori instead of cucumber.

  11. Could make me believe it's going to taste like meatloaf and mashed potatoes? Maybe then. ;)

  15. Looks very mooshy - mooshi-mooshi to the dish (he-he).
    I'd eat the wasabi.

    Hilda, here is the link to Trader Joe's. http://www.traderjoes.com/ It's a small, very good value grocery store chain.

  16. Oh it looks absolutely delicious. Sea urchins are very expensive in France with a wonderful flavour but I'm not sure they are worth the expense. I'd give this a try for sure.

  17. Good question! It looks quite delicious but I'm not sure if I could eat it. The wasabi is great.

  22. I lived in Japan for 2 and a half years and love sushi, sashimi, etc. but I never developed a taste for uni! Bleh...

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'd probably pass too - it is the soy sauce and paste that puts me off.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm not sure, I have to see the sea urchin without the sauce. If it's slimy I wouldn't, if it's tender, yes.

  25. Nobu, Olivier, Vogon Poet:
    The cucumber cups were just used as containers. I don't think you're supposed to eat them! :)

  26. I've had sea urchin in China, but I don't think I would ever order it myself. The presentation of this dish is very good (I'm just not sure about the taste).
