This nikomi is another incredibly tasty pork dish from my absolute favorite izakaya.Different parts of pork are simmered in a soy sauce-based broth in a big hot pot. Under all the pork, you’ll find tofu that’s been quickly simmered and has soaked up all the flavour. I always order a boiled egg as a topping- it’s cooked in the same pot and tastes amazing.On top, there’s chunky chopped leek, Japanese mustard, and I usually sprinkle some shichimi, a Japanese chilli spice.The umami is deep, and the flavour and texture are rich and complex. Honestly, it’s hard to describe just how good it is- but one thing’s for sure: it goes perfectly with a beer!
