In Japan at New Year, every food is specially chosen as a symbol of happiness; lobster is part of the typical menu.

Instead of lobster, you could use 5 giant shrimp and proceed in the same way.

1. cut the lobster tail in half, leaving the body and head; clean the shell; 
2. in a small bowl, combine the mirin, soy sauce and egg yolks; 
3. brush the lobster tail meat with this mixture; 
4. grill at medium temperature for 15 minutes maximum; 
5. squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the lobster.

1. place the lobster on a Japanese ceramic platter or plate;
2. halve the other lemon lengthwise and slice thinly;
3. make an incision in the lobster flesh and insert 5 half-slices into each half of the tail; 
4. sprinkle with dried basil;
5. garnish with a rose made of thin ginger slices and form the center of the flower with crumbled egg yolk.
