I visited the Japanese restaurant "Sakuragi" in Tsukiji for lunch. This tranquil Japanese restaurant is conveniently located within walking distance from Tsukiji Station! The bright wooden counter creates a striking impression, and once seated, you can enjoy the serene atmosphere while facing the dishes being prepared right in front of you. ☺️ Unlike the more casual eel shops, here you can savor a luxurious bowl of unagi don in a refined setting typical of a Japanese restaurant. ✨ ◻︎ Unagi Don The moment it arrived, I was taken aback by its impressive appearance! The square-cut eel is generously arranged on top of the rice, glistening with a rich sauce and a beautiful char. ✨ This unagi don features a distinctive aroma from the Kansai-style grilling, which is cooked without steaming, giving it a unique charred flavor! With the first bite, the delightful crispiness of the skin stands out! The smoky aroma reminiscent of charcoal grilling fills your mouth, and with each chew, the sweetness and umami of the eel's fat gently emerge. It's not just fluffy; the combination of the crispy surface and the perfect elasticity of the meat showcases the robust character of grilled eel! The sauce is glossy but not overly sweet; it has a refined taste with the savory depth of soy sauce and a sharp finish! Adding a touch of the accompanying sansho pepper enhances the freshness and perfectly balances the richness of the eel's fat. This special unagi don lunch allows you to enjoy the delightful aroma of grilled eel in a serene Japanese restaurant in Tsukiji! It left such a lasting impression that I would love to return for their regular course menu as well. ☺️ ❄︎ Ordered Menu ・Unagi Don (JPY 6,600) ꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀ Lastly ꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀꕀ Thank you for reading until the end! ✨ I also post about delicious and wonderful places on Instagram, so please come check it out! ✨✨✨ ⁂ Instagram Account Name ⁂ @gourmet_ryo_20s If you think it looks delicious, feel free to like, follow, and save! ✨
