Never seen a whole tuna with it's head on either!<br /><br /><b>Hey Suze,</b> um, yeah... I don't really like custard, I'm strange =p<br /><br />With commentary about what was going on, the tuna performance was around 30-40 minutes I think. Was an experience to see.<br /><br /><b>Hey Kitchen Butterfly,</b> I always thought the fresher the better for tuna as well, unless ageing it makes it better for sashimi somehow??<br /><br /><b>Hey Laura,</b> there were even little bits of tuna flying about at times!<br /><br /><b>Hey Jacq,</b> so much fun being able to watch the tuna being filleted. Not that the tuna we ate that night would've been from that fish, but fun nonetheless!<br /><br /><b>Hey Fiona,</b> I've had a bad tuna experience where what I ate was grainy - bleurgh!<br /><br /><b>Hey Steph,</b> thanks for dropping by =) Definitely something to remember for next year. Must be something to do with the cold and the fish having more fat stores that makes it prime tuna season.<br /><br /><b>Hey FFichiban,</b> ootoro - oh yeah! Or you could try Koi as well...<br /><br /><b>Hey Sara,</b> the ageing part was new to me as well! Wish they'd explained the reasons behind it though.<br /><br /><b>Hey Forager,</b> definitely not something you get to see everyday. Food was fine and service was not offensive in any way, just a little amusing.<br /><br /><b>Hey missklicious,</b> highly recommend the Sapporo hotpot but just beware it's more filling as you're more inclined to drink the soy milk base!<br /><br /><b>Hey Conor,</b> I'm getting images of a dolphin show by your description... but I don't eat dolphin so it's okay =p<br /><br /><b>Hey Mistress,</b> haha, an after work meal perhaps?<br /><br /><b>Hey Ladybird,</b> what was most impressive was a one-page menu featuring nothing but tuna!<br /><br /><b>Hey Angie,</b> I was taken by the weight as well! Considering fish have relatively light bones, there must be some dense flesh there.<br /><br /><b>Hey Helen,</b> our friends purposely made the booking for that evening. And yes, this type of dinner show beats the theatrics of clowns, jugglers and the like!Rita (mademoiselle délicieuse)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353807765589132835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-91641427038671649712010-08-03T11:33:25.890+10:002010-08-03T11:33:25.890+10:00I was at Masuya recently and saw the posters for t...I was at Masuya recently and saw the posters for the tuna ceremony.
