“But no dish I ate at Dashi was more memorable – or more surprising – than curried beef tendon crackers. Think pork cracklings, but with the deep, beefy flavor of marrow. Lightly dusted with Japanese curry powder, this is a peerless companion for pretty much anything from the bar – a sweeping, thoughtfully curated selection that includes sake, shochu (sake’s potent distilled-alcohol cousin), beer (from draft Ponysaurus Rye Pale Ale to bottled Nipponia Imperial Pilsner), wine and specialty cocktails such as the Hosoi (shochu, plum liqueur and yuzu). If you’ve been wanting to taste for yourself why Japanese whiskeys have been winning international awards lately, here’s your chance to do so without taking out a second mortgage on the house for a whole bottle.”
