Negitorodon

3.5

at Tsuruhashi Maguro Shokudo

-Seongsu, Seongdong, Seoul, Republic of Korea-

with Mom + Dad

Since my first visit to this restaurant, I’ve gone back a few times.  Every time, the food is excellent: top quality ingredients, immaculate preparation/presentation, generous portions.  But frankly, I’m growing somewhat weary of the place, because it’s all about tuna, only tuna, nothing else on the menu.

Upon close examination of the photo, I noticed that they use the scapes (green part) of thinner scallions and the bases (white part) of fatter scallions – whether for flavor or optics, I’ll ask next time.

I never thought that I could ever get enough of negitorodon, even when it’s not that good (see for example 8.127 Negitorodon), but I suddenly hit a wall halfway through the bowl – too much of a good thing.  I couldn’t finish it.
