It's been a while since I visited Tashiro!This is my second time since it became a members-only restaurant.I'm so happy to enjoy the chef's eel again.I arrived a bit early and watched the chef grilling.His swift and skillful movements haven't changed at all.He handles everything by himself, from preparing to grilling,truly showcasing his craftsmanship.I lost track of time just watching him, haha.Most importantly, I'm glad to see he's doing well.The chef remains as warm-hearted as ever.The atmosphere of the restaurant hasn't changed either.This time, I ordered the large eel rice bowl with 1.5 eels.The large portion of rice is still free, so I naturally requested it.It's grilled over charcoal.▶︎ Ordered items:- Eel Rice Bowl (Large) JPY 5,300- Large Rice FreeI was really looking forward to this, and it was incredibly delicious! Haha.It was worth the long drive in the heat.The eel was about 3.5 to 4 pieces.Today's eel had a nice amount of fat, and the texture was soft and juicy.The surface was beautifully glazed with sauce, creating a delightful crispy and tender balance.The skin was slightly crispy.The rich fat and thick sauce combined made me unconsciously shovel rice into my mouth, haha.It perfectly hit the spot for an eel rice bowl.The sauce is, of course, very tasty.It's sweet and rich, but not overly sweet, and the soy sauce is delicious.It's not as heavy as it looks, and there's no burnt taste.The visual appeal and the fragrant aroma enhance the deliciousness of the eel.This sauce is what makes Tashiro special!I really love this sauce, haha.The rice is also quite delicious.The sauce is well-balanced, making it easy to eat.It disappeared in no time, haha.Even with the large portion, I could still eat more.The happiness of the eel rice bowl is right here.It comes with pickles and soup.It was truly delicious!!!Once again, it might be the ultimate eel rice bowl, haha.Perhaps due to the season, the texture was a bit less bouncy than usual, but overall, it was a total hit, haha.Every aspect of it is uniquely delicious.Freshly prepared eel, the chef's skill, and the tasty sauce.I thoroughly enjoyed the "eel rice bowl."It's not unaju (eel over rice), but an eel rice bowl, which enhances the overall quality.Even without the members-only or premium feel,this "eel rice bowl" is genuinely exceptional.The chef still seems to be in great health, so I hope he continues to do well for a long time.This is a restaurant I hope will last forever.I thought it would be better not to take a photo before opening the lid of the bowl, so I’ll just share the exterior.Thank you for the meal!
