  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the lobster for about 10 minutes. Drain and extract the meat from the claws and tail, then cut the tail meat into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. On medium heat, heat a skillet with the olive oil and butter. Add the garlic and sauté, then add the lobster meat, followed by salt and black pepper. Add the spaghetti to the skillet and stir to combine well with the lobster.
  4. Add the chicken broth, sake, and mirin (if using). Toss the spaghetti a few times until the sauce slightly thickens. Add the tomatoes, parsley, and lemon juice, and stir to mix well with the spaghetti.
  5. Turn off the heat and transfer the pasta to two serving platters. Garnish with lemon wedges and shaved Parmesan cheese, if using. Squeeze the lemon juice over the pasta before eating.
