Naw, just a few mentioning it's here. I do NOT recall seeing it in
Hawaii. I suspect the bone to meat ratio is too low to make it that
popular there outside maybe Waikiki.

It was actually Japan where I encountered it first as something
commonly there at the stores. It was seasonal (culling the herd time)
but I liked it very well.

Here, I get them anytime at the local American Asian Grocery and of
course, I have seen them elsewhere in the more upscale markets.

Best simmered slow and low to make a lovely broth.
