Deep fried Gingko Nuts

Circuit Breaker Day 4

It was the last birthday that I dine at this Japanese Restaurant in Taka and I love the food there.  So beginning of this year, my friend and I dined here again.  She is a vegetarian and thus sashimi is out for her and one of her selection was this Deep Fried Salty Gingko Nuts.

I had never eaten ginkgo nuts in salty form and thus I find this interesting and tasted nice.

So today I attempted it.  This is the 2nd attempt as the first one was not done well.

This time around, I think I pretty much nail it.

Do you know that Gingko Tree is found in fossils dating back 270 million years?  I once read that it even survived the Hiroshima bombing.
