I had the opportunity to visit Shun, the pinnacle of eel cuisine, for a private reservation.It was an adult outing, taking 4.5 hours by Shinkansen from Fukuoka and about 20 minutes by taxi from Shizuoka Station.The feast began in a luxurious space resembling a mansion, with a beautiful garden and only six counter seats.We started with a dish of corn puree with eel and blueberries, where the crispy texture of the eel was quite impressive.Next was grilled sweetfish served with a wasabi leaf porridge, featuring charcoal-grilled sweetfish from the Waragawa River.We were served eel fin wrapped in seaweed, a delightful hand-held treat.Then came the exquisite Aka uni from Aijima, sourced from Fukuei Suisan.The sea bream sashimi, also from Fukuei Suisan, was incredibly flavorful.We enjoyed a sea bream soup as well.The dish with liver, ginkgo nuts, and shiitake mushrooms featured shiitake that was exceptionally delicious.The white grilled eel left me speechless with its incredible taste.The eel salad was both rich and refreshing.The matsutake pizza was quite filling at this point.Finally, we had a giant eel rice bowl, using three eels for six people.Every dish, featuring eel grilled with ultimate skill, was at an unparalleled level of deliciousness that I had never experienced before.I was truly moved by the exquisite eel dishes presented throughout the course.I definitely want to visit again!
