Thu Jul 31 04:28:35 -0700 2008 10173 guttergourmet 1 3917765 Quite a few places served uni tempura - Soto, Inagiku, Hasaki, and even Nobu and Morimoto. Wrapping it in shiso is the most common way of doing it. Thu Jul 31 05:39:01 -0700 2008 3917673 54254 kobetobiko 2 3919356 Hadn't seen it before. In retrospect, probably not the best use of uni. Thu Jul 31 13:15:05 -0700 2008 3917765 10173 guttergourmet 3 3919417 Well, it is just a different way to experience uni. The uni becomes lukewarm and melty. For me personally I won't use a super duper fresh sweet uni for tempura. Also, in Japan, tempura is served in tempura specialty reaturants, so you are not going to get uni tempura at a sushi place (well, actually nowadays I am not so sure....).

Thu Jul 31 13:53:30 -0700 2008 3919417 14393 sam1 5 3919574 Well, there are people who liked shave foie gras (at Momofuku Ko) and people who don't. Different people, different strokes. Again, I am just saying it is a different way, not a better way. Thu Jul 31 14:15:44 -0700 2008 3919497 54254 kobetobiko 5 3921147 Actually deep fried foie sounds good...who makes it?
