The weather's been so nice here the last couple of days. I hope you don't mind if I break up the week and take a grill break. We busted out the konro grill and the binchotan and like we do every so often decided to grill up some stuff. It takes some time and we take our time and savor the process and the flavor.
Last night it was Pork Toro, basically pork collar…..
Chicken wings, shishamo…….with a nice salad.
The Missus enjoyed it so much, that She wanted to do it again this evening….so we did.
More chicken wings, Berkshire pork belly, shrimp, shishito peppers……
There's something almost cathartic about the process…it makes us slow down, appreciate. It's simple, bincho imparts such great flavor that all you need is some good quality salt, pepper, and maybe some Shichimi Togarashi.
The smell is intoxicating…..as you can tell by our "neighbor" spying on us.
Looking for a possible "sample"…..
Of course Frankie was waiting for his share……
So pardon me while I take a mid-week charred animal flesh break.
We'll be back tomorrow!
Thanks for dropping by!
Pork looks amazingly delicious.
We still haven’t busted out the grill yet. Thanks for reminding me. Shrimps and shishamo look good!
Where did you get the pork toro? Looks beautiful. Do you think the toro tastes the same as the pork jowels?
Hi Billy – The pork was delicious!
Hi TFD – It’s the chicken wings that get the most benefit from bnchotan.
Hi Faye – It’s basically the same thing. Lots of pork flavor.
Was it from Mitsua? Zion?
Gosh, I could go for some of that grilled pork! No wonder your “neighbor” was longingly inhaling the scent of your grilled meats!!!
Hi Jan – Pork 1 from Nijiya, Pork 2 from Zion, wings, shishito, and other stuff from Nijiya.
Hi CC – If you look closely at that photo, you’ll see drool on the fence! ;o)
Aw, love the picture of Frankie =)
oh my gosh, it IS there! hahaha! nice shiny droplets of…
Hi Kirbie – He really knows how to look cute for a snack!
Hi CC – I guess it really did smell good! ;o)
our neighbors grill at least two or three times a week 🙂
That sounds like a perfect amount to me Kat!
