I loved it, but I grew up eating this kind of stuff (also, we dipped it in raw egg - apparently this is one way it is/was traditionally eaten?). It's one of the recipes my grandfather brought back after being stationed overseas during World War II and it was always a special treat when my grandmother made it. She would go to San Francisco to get the noodles and a hunk of Kobe beef. I watched her make it many times, but this recipe helped me nail down some specifics.
