Oh and Nura Tai, here's some more stuff for Yakiniku Q.
from wiki, of course... XD Anything in parenthesis is my words though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YakinikuBeef
Rōsu - loin and chuck slices (slightly expensive..
sad )
Karubi or baraniku - short ribs. From the Korean word "galbi". In Japan it is usually served without the bones, unless it is specified as hone-tsuki-karubi. (korean favorite! I love this stuff. slightly sweet if soaked(?) in sauce beforehand.)
Harami - tender meat around the diaphragm. (This is good too. just slightly exp.)
Tan - beef tongue. From the English word "tongue". Often served with munched Welsh onion, salt and lemon juice.. (I have to say, I've never seen it in Korean restaurants, but the Japanese ones are different I guess.)
Misuji - tender meat around the shoulder. (This is also good, slightly expensive.)
Pork
Butabara - pork belly. (Very cheap in Korea, lots of people eat this for special occasions such as group parties and the sort. Quite popular, because it's cheap too, although the prices are soaring a bit higher nowadays...)
P-toro / Tontoro - fatty meat around the cheek and the neck.From the word "Pork toro". (Slightly exp, it's a rare part, but not many eat this in Korea unless they're well versed in the meat sections. Tastes good though.)
Horumon or motsu - Offal. (average price~slightly exp, I hate intestine parts so I don't eat any, but I hear they taste good.)
Rebā - beef liver. From the German word "Leber". (ditto)
Tetchan - intestine. From the Chinese word "大肠" (da chang). May simply be referred to as horumon.(ditto D
smile Hatsu - heart. From the English word "heart".(I've *never* seen this in Korea. I didn't even know the heart was a consumable part of the cow... but I guess Japanese people eat this a lot? D
smile Kobukuro - Pork uterus. Enjoyed for its gristly texture. (Oh, I've tasted this before, and yes it's.. uh... gristly, for the lack of words to explain this feeling. I hated it, but others like the texture and flavor. average price.)
Tēru - From the English word "tail". Slices of beef tail cut crosswise, bone attached. (Average price, now this I could deal with. It's really good, and even better when made into soup.
biggrin )
Mino / Hachinosu - beef tripe (nothing much to explain here....)
Gatsu - Pork stomach.From the English word "gut" (Average price, I hate intestines.)
Chicken
Seafood - squid, shellfish, shrimp. (This is really cheap except for the shrimp maybe, and they're all really good. Living close to the sea helps XD)
Vegetables - bell pepper, carrots, shiitake and other mushrooms, onions, cabbage, eggplant, bean sprout, garlic, and kabocha squash are common (As side dishes to roast with the meat or with bean paste. Garlic and green peppers, with sesame oil and/or bean paste is a must in these restaurants, and cabbage come in almost every dish too. In Korea we get refills, but I suppose we'd need to pay for extra if we were in Japan.
razz )
Did that help any?
