#12 HOKKE NO ABURI; grilled HOKKE()

As I could not find good reference of HOKKE, I stopped posting this series then.

Here I found a movie to show what HOKKE is.



I drink very few and rarely visit IZAKAYA. But when I visit IZAKAYA, I order HOKKE every time.

#13 TAI-YAKI

"TAI" means high class fish "red snapper" and "YAKI" means grilled or cooked or something.

TAI-YAKI is pan-cake in red snapper shape with "AN:smashed red beans" inside.

"AN" is often replaced by cheese, cream or other things.
