What are lamb shanks called in Japan? Was going to make braised lamb shanks this weekend but dont know what it is called in Japanese.

I'm guessing 'ramu-shanku'

They sell them at Nissin in the frozen section.
They're really good and big.

No, almost definitely not. Cutlets you can find but I have never seen shanks at a supermarket aside from Nissin and National Azabu. (National Azabu is closed for renovations so don't go looking there)

You will need a while to let the shanks defrost. Like...hours...they are frozen solid.
