We Tried 青椒’s Crab Roe Clay Pot Vermicelli and Roppaku Pork Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork! [Nishitsu Gourmet]

Introducing restaurants visited by Nishitsu’s food writer in our series, “Nishitsu Gourmet”
This time, we went to a Chinese restaurant located a 5-minute walk from JR Nishinomiya Station:

“青椒（ぴーまん）”!

This time, I went to eat there with Miyatama from our reporting team (*ゝω･*)ﾉ

First up, this dish!

★Blue Crab and Glass Noodles Cooked in an Earthenware Pot (6,800 yen before tax)

Don’t think it’s just crab and glass noodles!

Actually, this crab… you can even eat the eggs (roe)♪

I was surprised when I heard that too, but

the crab in “Blue Crab and Glass Noodles Cooked in an Earthenware Pot” is apparently cooked while still alive, so the eggs (roe) can be eaten too! (If it isn’t cooked alive, the eggs apparently run out.)

You can enjoy that at 青椒（ぴーまん）, so if you love crab, I definitely recommend trying it (*ˊᗜˋ*)!

Actually, at this time of year (winter), this crab is packed with red crab eggs (roe).
They’re so rich and mellow, and incredibly delicious!

The glass noodles are also full of the savory aroma of seafood from the crab, and they’re delicious!
Once you start eating, you won’t be able to stop♡

It wasn’t a single-serving hot pot; the portion was about enough for 2 to 3 people.

Next up, this!

★Sweet and Sour Roppaku Pork with Black Vinegar (4,500 yen before tax)

Roppaku pork comes from the feet, nose, and tail of Kurobuta pork,

and it wasn’t greasy at all. It was tender…
or rather, it had a clean bite, was sweet, and tasted really amazing!

Roppaku pork is a rare purebred Kurobuta pork from Kagoshima, named for its white nose, tail, and four feet. The meat is tender, packed with umami, and the aroma of its fat is outstanding!

It also had “black garlic” in it, and that was delicious too!

It doesn’t have that distinctive bitterness of garlic; it’s sweet (*ˊᗜˋ*)

And after the meal, we had “Raw Enzyme Asper Made with Rice Bran and Glutinous Rice (400 yen before tax)”!

Raw Enzyme Asper apparently contains ingredients that are good for the body and help improve the intestinal environment!

After drinking it, for the next two days, I had a bowel movement right after waking up, so I felt like things were running smoothly (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

I felt that “ぴーまん” is a Chinese restaurant full of thoughtful touches, where they care not only about the food but also about your overall physical condition♡

The flavor was unforgettable, and I want to go eat there again!
Thank you for the meal!
