東西「ウナギ」対決?

East-West “eel” showdown?

Actually, I didn't think I liked it, but

Eel is something that I can't help but eat.

Eel is a winter fish, so it will be a favorite to eat not only in the summer, but also in the coming seasons.

If you don't have it, you probably won't have any trouble without it,

If you have one, you'll probably eat it without hesitation, which is probably why it's your favorite food.

A while ago, I was about to go to Ano, a famous eel specialty restaurant in Fukuoka.

For foodies who are familiar with Fukuoka's delicious restaurants,

"There's no point in going to a place like that! It's like a tourist spot, it's expensive and it's not a big deal!"

After that, I was recommended ``Yanagawa-ya'' near Canal City.

Kyushu is also famous for its eel production.

When I hear about eel specialty restaurants, I don't know why there aren't many.

When I asked the craftsman, he said, ``I buy eel at the supermarket and eat it at home.''

It's the same in Hiroshima, there are no restaurants that serve eel dishes.

Hiroshima is most famous for its conger eel.

The eel dish I went to for the first time at Yanagawaya was the most delicious in my life.

Of course the price is not cheap, but

If there is anyone who likes eel dishes, I would like to introduce them to you.

This is what is commonly called ``Unajyu.''

It's delicious and doesn't even need a comment.

The photo above is steamed in a steamed basket, so it's hard to rate it better.

If you want a light meal, try steamed eel, and if you like something rich, try unaju.

I want to go to this store again.

For a change, the Tsukiji office closed last month.

It was just after noon, so I was walking toward Ginza to have lunch.

I went to "Ginza Yondaime Takahashiya" which I saw on "Ad Street Heaven" .

The main store is a super long-established store in Saitama that has been around since the Meiji era.

I saw it on TV and wanted to go there if I had the chance.

The opportunity came sooner than I expected.

Since I don't know when I'll be able to come next time, it may be a luxury, but I ordered "natural eel".

It's so delicious that you'll be in agony.

The freshness of the eel and the deliciousness of the fat are exquisite.

And the Japanese pepper seasoning is incredibly fragrant and delicious.

Depending on the time of day, you may have to wait a long time for your food to be served at this restaurant.

This is because the eel is carefully grilled after being grated.

It looks like it will take about an hour to come out.

It's hard because I'm so hungry,

It's so delicious that you'll forget about the wait, so it's worth the wait.

If you make a reservation in advance, it will probably be a little faster.

After eating and comparing eel from East and West, I ended up finding out that ``eel'' is delicious (lol)

Although there are slight differences in seasoning, both are really delicious.

In either case, the high price of eel dishes is due to

It starts with removing the mud from the eel, then carefully handling it and grilling it.

The turnover rate is very poor, and the freshness of the ingredients is also required.

When I saw the food being cooked right in front of me, I realized that it was really hard work.

You can't judge eel dishes by price alone.

It was a dish that showed a glimpse of "craftsmanship."
