Pass The Fish Guts And The Teapot Of Beer, Please

It’s summertime, and that means the cool, refreshing beer you just ordered might arrive in a teapot, accompanied by crisp cucumbers, a dollop of mayo to dip them in and…fish guts. Salty fish guts.

And yeah – I think I’m getting better at this living in Japan thing, because I knew not to ask what they were until after I ate them.
