Dojo-nabe is a dish of loach and is cooked in a shallow earthen pot with a plenty of chopped green onions. A several different types of soup are used to cook dojo-nabe, such as sweet, shoyu-based sauce called wari****a or miso-based soup. There are two serving types of dojo-nabe; "Maru" contains whole loaches including their heads and bones, while "saki" uses ones without heads and bones. They are served with shichimi-togarashi <seven-spices and hot pepper sprinkles> and sansho <Japanese pepper sprinkles> for garnishing, if desired.
 
Sounds tastey!
 
I was researching dojo loaches, and, well, yeah.
I'd try this if I were in Japan, wouldn't try to make it myself.
I need to look for GG dishes now XD
 
Definitely interesting. They are just fish after all.

You can buy live dojos by the pound at most any Asian market worth it's salt.
