To me this grilled live eel is better than those in Japan

#celebrateit Unlike the usual soft and dense texture of eel, the grilled eel here is flaky, with distinct layers of fish that practically fall apart with each bite. Flavor-wise, there are two options: Shirayaki (plain grilled) and Kabayaki (sauce-glazed), each with its own appeal. The real highlight, though, is the fresh sansho powder served in a little gourd—it has a numbing kick with a refreshing herbal note, far superior to store-bought versions. Truly exceptional. Note: Skip the "three-way" eel set and go for the square box version instead. The broth is nothing special, both sets use the same one, and more importantly, the three-way set cuts your eel portion in half.
