Use Ise lobsters (known to be the best of their kind throughout the Empire, Japan). Cook lobster and remove shells, leaving only the tails. After meat is diced place                                           lobsters back in the shells. To decorate, cut the tail part in the shape of a peony, adding thereto a few leaves of the real plant.
