bmwe92fan The game meat reminded me of the wild mountain vegetables I've had in country side ryokans. It is seasonal and regional beyond bamboo shoots, mustard greens, and chrysanthemum which is more widely seen within Japan.

I haven't had the deep fried eel bones. I like wide (fettuccine width) soft dried squid like Soft Saki Ika ソフトさきいか which I haven't seen at Chinese or Korean markets in the US. Is that a regional variant?
