Thanks Grace! Unless given attribution under the photo, then yes, they’re all mine. We visit Japan often so I have years worth of photos.

Thank you for sharing that Robert! I love reading about the origins of food. That makes perfect sense actually. Motsunabe does seem like more of a Korean dish than Japanese. You’ve just inspired us to have a closer look at offal on our next trip to Korea. Thank you!

I really liked the detail and easy read (including specialties by prefecture/location). One thing I would like to add. Motsunabe is Korean in origin (just like mentaiko even though it was not listed in the article).

“The roots of Motsunabe date back to World War II. It starts when Koreans who worked as coal miners at that time cooked hormones and leeks. They cooked this in aluminum pots and ate them with soy sauce flavor. Since then, in addition to beef and pork tripe and leeks, ingredients and flavors have changed little by little. So by the 1960s, sesame oil, peppers, green onions, etc. were added to the food in a sukiyaki style.”

They still eat in Korea where offal is still popular.
