I ate cod sperm...puke puke!!

Towards the end of the year, Japanese will start having 忘年会 bou nen kais. Bou nen kais are held for every conceivable corporate and social grouping. Hence, it is literally a season. Some bou nen kais start as early as late Nov!!

I have bou nen kais every single night this week! In my first bou nen kai for the season, which was held tonight, I was "treated" to cod sperm flown directly from Hokkaido that very day. It is white and looks kinda like short stumps of intestines. Doesn't really have any taste, but has a juicy feel. Everyone said it was really fresh and good. We had it in sashimi form and in nabe (soup). I think it tastes better when cooked. Firmer and less juicy. Urghs!
