Straight Outta Nagoya


TENMUSU. Special-select-grade rice from Japan and fried shrimps battered in magic and sauced up are wrapped with a strip of nori and put together into a-little-bit-bigger-than-bite-size rice balls. On the side, there is the kyarabuki (pickled coltsfoot) garnish. I always want to ask for more garnish, but it's like a factory back there making the Tenmusu. And, I don't speak Japanese. Tenmusu comes to Shirokiya a few times a year, and I pretty much want to eat it every single day. Last day is April 27; be prepared to wait in a line during lunchtime. Man, I love those guys that make the Tenmusu!
