Horon Kushiage Dining

If you’re not familiar with Japanese “kushiage” its bite size breaded and perfectly deep-fried skewers of meat, seafood and vegetables. These small plates and skewers at Horon are made for sharing with your friends while you converse and drink the night away. All the different types of soju and sake will help your apprehensive friends become undaunted eaters (foodies).

Baby octopus, mochi cheese, lotus root with sea urchin and bacon wrapped mushrooms

Bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes and more baby octopus

Whats also great about Horon are all the other none fried dishes you can order like these truffled potatoes with blue cheese

Braised pork cheek

Uni-giri (sea urchin and rice wrapped in seaweed)

And one of my favorites, Wagyu beef liver sashimi (raw thinly sliced beef liver)

Fried Wonton Tacos, Yellowtail Sashimi and Roasted Shishito Peppers

Usually I fry these wonton wrappers to make spicy tuna tostadas but I’ve always wanted to use them to make tacos. I’ve never seen wonton wrappers used like this before but they make perfect bite size hard tacos.

Cilantro and onion for the beef tongue

And scallions for the sashimi and Wagyu beef

On a Sunday afternoon

Sundays have always been dedicated to hangovers and good food. This past weekend we grilled up some ginger pork, pork belly skewers and Wagyu beef lettuce wraps with pickled cucumber, daikon and red onions with a sauce made from lemon, scallions, ginger and soy sauce.

Yakiniku

Yakiniku in Japanese means “grilled meat” or in it’s broadest sense, refers to grilled meat dishes.  Last night we had Wagyu beef, Berkshire pork sausages and thinly sliced beef tongue. Any Asian male will tell you grilled meat and rice is in the same category as sex, cars and alcohol.

Thinly sliced beef tongue is one of my favorites…
