Piiman no nikumaki teriyaki / sweet-pepper beef roll with teriyaki sauce

A treat for Tom -- colorful and juicy peppers rolled up in a thin slice of beef. The easy-to-eat form and strong teriyaki flavor make this dish common for bento or picnics.

Tonporo / dongpo rou stewed pork

The aroma of these spices takes me back to the streets of Taiwan.

Yudebuta no yuzu remon-zuke / slow-cooked pork marinated in yuzu citron and lemon

A great appetizer. Yuzu citron's aroma and flavor add a pleasant mellow touch to this simple pork dish. Thinly sliced lemon gives the dish a sharp punch.

Kyuri to gyuniku no sarada / Japanese cucumber and beef salad

Sweet and spicy, a light salad with beef.

Gyu tataki warijoyuzuke / seared beef marinated in soy sauce broth

One of Tom's and our guests' favorites. Great appetizer. Good for sandwiches too, according to Tom.
