Boston Lobster · オマール海老 (オマール)

The clawed Atlantic lobster, poached and butterflied over the rice — dense, sweet meat mottled coral where the shell pressed, richer than its spiny cousin.

Homard reached the counter through French kitchens, and the katakana keeps the accent — オマール is homard said in Tokyo.
