    when my mom makes chawanmushi, she always puts dried scallop in it, and I really like that additional flavor, really brightens up the whole dish.

    No it’s the shrimp intestines That’s why I avoid eating shrimp in not very clean places, they often don’t remove it.

    I see you are much more fond to sh*t. Can’t argue about taste. :-)

    What I love about Japanese cuisine is all the different flavours in one dish. This particular one is simple yet has all those flavours. + Francis is awsome! Thank you for posting (^_^)
