Japanese food frankness

For a restaurant that wants to be remembered, a noteworthy name is necessary and, as the likes of Mos Burger and Mamma Pasta happily announce what their niche is, it can presumably be argued then that even if one’s business is based around bowels, there’s really no reason not to be bold about it.

Provided of course you’ve got the guts to go ahead with it.

    I always wonder… what do they actually want to say? Sometimes it’s obvious but when I think about bowels nothing really makes sense.

    Very funny find 🙂

    The hiragana reads motsu, which translates as guts or giblets, so blame it on their dictionary.

    Since they serve stomach at a lot of yakiniku places, they’re probably spot on.

    I once ate at “The Cafe Colon” in Tangiers, Morocco.
    Does that count?

    My Mum used to cook my Dad tripe, and used to refer to it as a “Witney blanket”
