collogen hot pot
During my trips to Japan, I always complain about one major thing on the trip. My clothes friggin’ stink of food. No matter what I do, last time I even bothered to brink a mini-bottle of Febreeze to solve the problem, but I come out stinkin’ of meat and onions usually.
While sexy , I know, this is generally not something I enjoy being a nose sensitive weirdo. I mean, everyone knows that even when I smoke, I irritangingly waft the air away trying to make sure I don’t smell.
Now most Japanse dishes make you stink. Teppenyaki, noodle bars, and even the Korean BBQs ( though that I won’t blame the Japanese for). However, nothing is as bad as Japanese Hot Pot.
I enjoyed this little wonder of a dish back in March of last year when we held a Houdini Usergroup meeting at a hotpot restaurant in Tokyo. Well now, it seems that there has come a twist in this eating phenomenon.
Across the country, a growing number of “beauty” restaurants are specifically devoted to serving collagen hot pots in which clear chunks of the translucent tasteless protein are melted into a medley of vegetables, meat or fish.
