bakudan bowl

Bakudan Bowl...I've only seen this on the menu at Ootoya, a popular chain restaurant, but apparently a lot of izakaya also serve this.

Ootoya's version has a raw egg in the middle of the bowl.

Bakudan literally means "explosive", "bomb"

Super easy and delicious.

Put your favorite toppings.

Here is what I used.

Cooked rice : 90 grams for me, 180 grams for Satoshi

Sashimi (bincho maguro (albacore tuna), and buri (yellow tail))

Tomatoes

Edamame

Kim chee

Natto

Yamagata style Dashi

To eat: 2 teaspoons dashi shoyu

Korean nori

NOTES: you could also use wasabi to eat this with, and "regular" shoyu and "regular" nori.

I mixed mine up and ate it with the nori, Satoshi ate his without mixing.

I'll make this again.

  1. Your version sounds quite good. Does the natto become less gooey because it is mixed with other ingredients? I want to eat natto but the gooey stringiness is a deterrent for my uncultured palate. 😂 Please stay safe and healthy!

  2. Sorry Anon, the gooey/slimy texture does not get less with this version. Do you eat okra? you could start with that first because it isn't stinky, just gooey/slimy.

    Take care!

  3. a lot of the poke shops around here serve this style. It's usually called a create your own poke bowl. Good to know there's a name for it and it's something I can eat because of all the non-sashimi ingredients!

  4. That actually looks good even though I don't eat natto or raw fish. I know people who would enjoy that.

  5. I think this might be similar to Buddha Bowls too, V.

    You can always change the toppings Jalna :)

    Take care you two.
