Last night I was invited at one of the university senior professor’s place for dinner. It was mainly for business purposes, but it’s not so often that Japenese invite you home. After 10 years there, hundreds of dinners at home, I can still count on the fingers the number of houses we’ve visited as guests!! Most people prefer to invite you at the restaurant.
The other one, more exceptional is scorpion fish. A quite rare and difficult to catch fish. This very muscly fish has a very firm flesh very similar to the monkfish was served in a shabu-shabu style. Something like a hot-pot where you dip the slices of fish to cook it.
