Shiitake Negi at Aburiya

Shiitake Negi

This was nice. All this time I've been eating at Aburiya, I never bothered to try the shiitake negi. This time I gave it a shot, and it's pretty cool - it's basically minced scallions sitting inside an inverted shiitake mushroom top. When you throw it on the grill, you obviously can't flip it over, lest the scallions fall in. So what you end up getting is a nice toasty underside, and scallions that still get cooked (rather delicately, I might add) by the heat underneath. This also gets rid of some of the dragon breath effect too. This was a pleasant change.
