The Gamer’s Cookbook

I know, I know! This recipe seems “out there” in terms of ingredients. The good news is that the ingredients are becoming more available than before. A trip to the local liquor store will get you Sake, and your supermarket will have wasabi. If you cannot find Kewpie mayo, just use regular. I won’t tell, I promise! ~ Sandeman

Light and refreshing, this appetizer packs a punch as well. Use a good Sake, and be sure to drink it with this dish!
