Whatcha know about value, son? Oh, we know all about value here. And @hokeypoki is all about that sweet, sweet value. They’ve got a multitude of $12.90++ Shikoku Setto for you to choose from, and all of them come with two main proteins, a bowl of chawanmushi, miso soup, short grain Japanese rice, and a lil’ salad that’s drizzled with the ubiquitous Japanese sesame sauce.⠀

I invested my money into the Teriyaki Chicken & Aburi Salmon Shikoku Setto and got a pretty princely return on my investment. Sure, the salmon sashimi is diced a touch too tiny, and can become an exercise in frustration to get it all when you’re in a hangry hurry. However, the deluge of flame seared mentaiko mayo that inundates the sashimi more than alleviates that annoyance.⠀

The teriyaki chicken is simply a chicken cutlet, deep fried and glazed with a drizzle of standard issue teriyaki sauce. However, whatever the chicken was marinated in is truly unique, as the unmistakable flavour & scent of ginger dominated each bite, and there’s what definitely smells like some floral essential oil in there too. It’s definitely odd, but not entirely unwelcome. However, the juicy piece of poultry could definitely use a more judicious application of salt.⠀

Shikoku Setto? More like SHIOKku Setto, amirite?
