about five inches long and broiled on
bamboo skewer like kidneys or white
bait. You can see them cooked il you
like, for true to their habit of having
everything the reverse of what it is with
us, the Japanese restaurants place their
kitchen in the front part of the house
adjoining the entrance and their dining
rooms somewhere at the end of series
