It’s such a flavorful cut of meat, which is why it is so popular. The thing about beef brisket, though, is that it is one of the toughest cuts of meat, which is what makes it ideal for long, slow cooking. Most people like to smoke their briskets, and so do I, of course!...

Hamachi teriyaki is one of my mom’s signature dish and I remember eating this dish often while I was growing up in Japan. Today I made it slightly different using yuzu kosho, adding some spicy kick. We call Hamachi “Buri” when the fish is longer than 30 inches. Compared to Hamachi Kama (Yellowtail Collar), the fillet part is not as fatty and soft, but it tastes very good. Both Buri and Hamachi are very common and popular fish in Japan....
