【2026 Bronze】【2025 Top 100 Restaurants】During my last visit in the evening, I heard that the eel gathering would be held on the 15th of this month, so I made a reservation on the spot. Before I knew it, the day had arrived for my visit to "Sakuragi"; 4.09.They serve crispy eel in the Kansai style, which is not steamed, paired with a slightly spicy sauce. I wondered what eel at a Japanese restaurant would be like! After a heavy rain in Chiba, I set off again in the rain, unsure if the trains were running. I arrived after taking a stroll around the outer market.■ Eel Rice Bowl 6600 + Various Japanese Sake; 9750◆ Nabeshima Junmai Ginjo ◆ Senkin Senko Hanabi ◆ Kamo Kinshu Karakuchi Junmai Natsu Jun ◆ Ugo Hesperia ◇ Eel Rice Bowl ・Chilled Tomato ・Pickles ・Nameko Mushroom Red Miso Soup ・Eel Rice Bowl This summer, I had eel quite frequently, and this eel rice bowl was among the best. First, I enjoyed the chilled tomato soaked in dashi and the pickled watermelon and pickles.The eel from Mikawa Isshiki was served with freshly ground Waka-yama grape pepper. The well-prepared eel had no small bones to worry about and had a crispy yet fluffy texture. The slightly spicy sauce paired perfectly with Ugo, and I ended up asking for more rice and pepper. By the way, the kamadaki rice and grape pepper are refillable. I guess I’ll be back in September!
