Jo,
That's a great-looking dinner! Would you mind telling us why there is that imperfect quarter of dark on your soup bowl? I know you are a master photographer, but what is going on with this?
I always burn the roof of my mouth with really good pizza, hot from the oven. I started this stupid tradition very early with one of my mom's homemade pizzas. I pulled the molten cheese off, it draped over my chin, and I sported a burn there for a couple of weeks. I do usually burn the roof of my mouth at least a little with good hot pizza (one of my favorite foods), but I did learn not to pull the cheese lava onto my face. If a restaurant wants to get on my shit list, they can do it very quickly by serving foods that should be hot luke warm or cold.
Also, would you mind enlightening an ignorant person as to what Ichiban dashi is and how one might make this for themselves?
