Swappin' Washi at Yabu: House of Katsu
Frances, Chrissete and I pooled our washi tape desires together for a giant order from Hey Kessy. Today we met to split up and swap washi at Yabu: House of Katsu. Washi and katsu -- Japanese fun all around!

Swappin' Washi at Yabu: House of Katsu I had the Kurobata, aka "the Wagyu of pork." Hahahaha! Best katsu I've ever tasted, texture-wise. Crispy, warm, just the right side of firm. I couldn't taste the meat much, but that might be because I have a bit of a cold. Also I don't order katsu at Japanese fine dining restaurants (that's what teppan beef and seafood are for!) so I'm no connoisseur.
Swappin' Washi at Yabu: House of Katsu I finished everything! Even the succulent slivers of fat at the end of every pork slice. And I usually hate the taste of fat. The unlimited cabbage is sooo yummy. Crispy and juicy. And the servers are quite attentive and ours was always smiling! Hearts all around.
