A very happy kid, because he got his beloved octopus skewers !
A good opportunity to break out the Tokkuri ... (plus some Dassai sake).
And for dessert ...
Did they like it ? Yes, definitely.
They demolished the plates. I was certain to have prepared too much, but there were few leftovers. It was as envisioned: “their” proteins, known flavors, yet in a unusual context - fun to prepare (for me) and fun to eat (for them and me). Win win ☺️
