Nothin better than yellowtail collar.
Cept collar with a great dipping sauce. Good eye, but slight correction: the pic you refer to is not broiled hamachi-kama, AKA yellowtail collar. It is in fact maguro-kama, or broiled bluefin tuna collar. Thanks for that correction, I'll have to find and try it. But for some reason, I don't think I'd like it as well as yelllowtail, although I love seared maguro. I'm with you. Hamachi collar broiled is one of the finest dishes out there. That tuna collar was outstanding but not nearly as divine as yellowtail. If we're comparing the finest fatty belly cuts served as sashimi, however, it's a whole other ball game.

KG, Some of these pics are at the bait shop, right? RIGHT??? ![[Linked Image from i108.photobucket.com]](https://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n29/birddown/Japan%202019-2020/IMG_5799_zpsu6vwwaje.jpg) Good call, and that's exactly right. My wife spent some of her early years in Green Bay and has fond memories from that time, but never could figure out even in her tender years why almost all the people she met during those formative years believed that the whole universe ended at the county line. She once asked me why some folks' vision seemed to literally end within a few miles of where they were born. I told her that I wasn't sure, but that my best guess was that there're some folks who will never be capable of believing that there's anything beyond where they might venture to in their lifetime within a tank of gas and a limited understanding of the fact that across the globe there are other countries, cultures, people and experiences that will forever be beyond their understanding and wildest dreams. I guess I've come a ways from the childhood days when my boundaries were the Spring and Eleven Point Rivers. Eastern cuisine still intimidates me... Love the pics....

If you put Taco Bell sauce in your ramen noodles it tastes just like poverty

This big city born and raised boy was pretty intimidated when after ~80 hours of humping over all manner of seriously rugged country in NH's White Mountains in extreme Wx I finally ran into something completely foreign and intimidating to me: a bull moose. Rather than running away shrieking or quietly backing off and making fun of his long-nosed swamp donkeyness, I faced him and drove a 175 grain TBBC through him from stem to stern with my 7mm mag. Sometimes, taking a chance and embracing the unknown yields rewards, friend. When my brother and I were very young our old man told us, 'I'll never force you to eat anything but I insist you consider trying everything once. If you don't like it you'll never have me make you do it again, but if you don't at least TRY IT you'll never know, and that's a sad thing...' There be wisdom in that sentiment.

I fell in love with one of these girls around the time this pic was taken. These same gals are pictured several times in this thread, Recognize them? This shot was taken ~37 years ago...Fell hard for her back then and the feeling has only grown since.... ![[Linked Image from i108.photobucket.com]](https://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n29/birddown/81843478_10158066096033912_6221393512760344576_n_zpsfvznoo4s.jpg)

Nice pics, glad to hear of a nice family visit, if I followed you around for a week, I'd gain 80 lbs!  Maybe not my man. Over the course of 7 days just bopping around the city we logged 47 miles and change (been on a diet and have one of those gadgets that records physical activity stats and biometrics). I did put on 4 lbs, but I'm calling that muscle mass... LOL, damn, a man would need to pack a pair of running shoes ; ]
