Unadon： Eel Bowl (prose, cooking)

The grilled eel sold at supermarkets is tough and not tasty. This is a way to make it about 80% as delicious as eel from specialty shops. In areas around Tokyo, the grilled eel is steamed. This makes it softer. Place a sand sieve with the mesh side up on top of the steamer filter, place the grilled eel on top, and steam for about 14 minutes. Remove and grill for 3 minutes until crispy. Serve this in a bowl with rice, top with sauce, and sprinkle with Japanese pepper.

ウナ丼(prose, cooking)

スーパーマーケットで売られているウナギの蒲焼きは、硬くて美味しくない。それを専門店のウナギの８０％くらいの美味しさに仕上げる工夫。東京を中心とする地方では、蒲焼きを蒸す工程を入れる。これによって蒲焼きを柔らかくする。土砂の篩を網を上にして蒸し器のフィルターの上に置き、蒲焼きをその上に置いて１４分ほど蒸す。取り出してグリルで３分、表面をかりっと焼く。これをご飯を丼に盛り、タレを掛けた上に乗せ、山椒を振って食べる。

kawatoyo bekka b english-menu

Kawatoyo Bekkan is near to Narita Airport in Japan.

We visited Kawayo Bekkan, one of the most famous eel restaurants in Japan. Eel bowls are an expensive and luxurious food in Japan, but many people like them. The garden was very beautiful and we had a delicious eel bowl.

Grilled Eel (Essay)

Eel is a fish of great significance to Japanese people. In the Edo period, it was one of the three major fast foods along with sushi and tempura. Even if you didn't make it at home, the store prepared it and you could buy it and eat it right away.

Eel is a hard fish like rubber, and it took some ingenuity to make it delicious and soft. The methods are different in Edo and Osaka. In Edo, a method called 'steaming' was adopted. (Osaka's method is to turn over and continue baking.)

The slightly cheaper eels sold at supermarkets are tough and tasteless, and are no match for those from specialty eel shops. But I'm poor and don't have the money to go to an eel restaurant, so I cook the eel using the Edo-style "steaming" method.

As expected, in terms of taste, I can't compete with specialty stores, but the eel kabayaki that has become soft enough satisfies me. Today, I ate "Unadon" for lunch. I should appreciate Edo culture.
