About

This is a classic dish in modern robata joints in most metropolitan cities. It works best with a baby rack of lamb cut into chops, a good size for finger food. These are so good and should be one of the hero dishes of a robata meal.

Method

Place the miso, mirin, sake and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat through over a medium heat, whisking well to melt the sugar and incorporate the sake and mirin. Decant into a shallow tray and leave to cool while preparing the lamb.

Cut the racks between each joint into chops of equal thickness. Ensure that each cutlet’s bone is free of meat or sinew as these work as the ‘handle’ for eati
