Mugitoro

Mugi = Barley, and Toro usually designates something fatty.. like belly of a Tuna or Pig... But it can also denote something soft, starchy, and stringy.

Mugitoro is a restaurant in Tokyo that serves up some of the best Barley Rice and Mountain Yams I've ever had.

I should also denote anything tororo (sticky and stringy) in Japan is considered somewhat good for you. No, I don't mean cheese or anything us Americans link to the word "stringy".
But veggies like mountain yam, okra, natto, kelp... are all things considered to help digestion and cleanse the innards.
Below is our menu and a few pics to follow:
