done like dinner
well, thats all she wrote for the shinatatsu. shoe polished off the last joint, higomons. a decent bowl that deserves better than to be sittin' next to monster-lineup-havin' nantsu. actually, a bowl like this should be siphoning off a bunch of those wieners waiting in line at the other place, but who's to get in the way of they japanese and their unhealthy obsession for queuing.
now, to the bowl. there was this real cool double soup thingy rockin', an you may be able to see it iffn you squint hard at the piccy there. anyhoo, it actually had two distinct flavors, an shoe issnt quite sure if that was intentional or what the fuck was goin' on. tonkotsu to the core, heavy on the garlick, higomons is. now, the real draw of higomons is their great big-ole chunks o' porky goodness. damn, they fill the bill. just like good ole jangara down there, but even softer, if that's possible. they just fell apart in poor 'ole shoe's chopsticks, wigglin' n exuding sweet meaty goodness.
one thing shoe has to take higomons to task for is the lazy slabs of raw-ish cabbage spread all over the bowl. why? this only served to create serious disturbances in the flow of traffic down shoe's gob, an' didn't add (or distract) from the flavors in any appreciable way... ah well, a solid bowl it was tho'.
