pie-eater 207 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've had two, as has been mentioned I suppose - neither were heavy/peanutty. Perhaps they wouldn't need the 'May contain nut's label! Link to post Share on other sites

HotMagma 0 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I did once too, though I can't be sure it was that that did it. It was a cheap tabehodai kind of thing. Cheap meat is never a good ideas. It really put me off. Link to post Share on other sites

69 5 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Getting back into soba recently. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 For anyone wanting to lose weight, soba's a good way to do it. Tastes great too! I love lamb/mutton, but I'm not keen on genghis khan. Basically most Japanese people think lamb is kusai, so they end up cooking it in a powerful sauce to overcome the kusai-ness. Unfortunately, the sauce is much more kusai (too much ginger etc.) than the actual meat. That said, I seem to remember the genghis khan I had in Hokkaido being better than that I've had elsewhere. There is a "genghis khan street" in Nagano on Route 19 just south of the turnoff for the toll tunnel to Hakuba, but we went to the most famous place on it and I wasn't impressed. If you can get lamb shoulder, add salt, pepper, rosemary, and whole cloves of garlic and stick in the oven for three to four hours. You can watch Jamie Oliver doing it on Youtube. Fantastic food for minimal effort. Just over a 1000 yen a kilo in Japan, so way cheaper than lamb chops or a leg roast too. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I've had it in Hokkaido. There is no marinade. Grilled on the hotplate unseasoned, dipping sauce if you like it. The fat n juice from the vegetables is quite enough. It gets kusai when it gets near use by date. The fat just stinks something bad. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It gets kusai when it gets near use by date. The fat just stinks something bad. This. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Lamb and mutton aren't kusai! It's just a prejudice that's common in Japanese people. Wiki says there are two types of genghis kahn, one with unflavoured meat (nama) and one with flavoured (aji-tsuke). I think I might have had the nama type years and years ago at the Hotel Piano at Kiroro. Anyway that was the best genghis khan I've ever had. While I am more than happy to eat yaki tori with tare and yakiniku too, the genghis khan marinade tare tastes worse than lamb/mutton. Its really overpowering. Here's wiki's description. Note the "臭み消し". 味付け肉の発祥は、マツオの松尾ジンギスカンである。現在様々なメーカーで製造されるほか、個人精肉店や焼肉店などでも独自に製造・提供される。調味液には、醤油ベースが主で、他に味噌ベース・塩ベースなどがある。様々な香味野菜・果物を扱って製造され、それに肉が漬け込まれる。使用する肉は、ラム肉・マトン肉のどちらでも使用される。特にマトン肉は、強い匂いがあるが味にコクがあるため、臭み消し方法として利用される Get the nama one if you can!

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 of course it depends on the place......the tare lamb at the Kirin beer hall in Sapporo is not overpowering at all.....its a very mild flavour. I like both Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Count me out on that. I've definitely had lamb that was kusai. Link to post Share on other sites
