Being a common delicacy in Japanese cuisine, I’ve always thought that freshwater EELs are available all year round but I’ve now come to learn that it is often eaten during the hot summers in Japan! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It is hence of no wonder that new on Ichiban Boshi’s Natsu (Summer) menu is Unagi Seiromushi ($18.90++). 😍

Featuring steamed teriyaki sushi rice with BBQ eel 🤤🤤🤤, a pot of hot water continues keep the rice steaming warm in the wooden box atop 🔥, bringing with it some traditional vibes.

Accompanied by crunchy cubes of fresh prawn 🦐, aromatic eggs 🍳, vibrant cherry tomatoes 🍅, some Japanese greens 🥬 & a sprinkle of fragrant sesame seeds, this was a worthy upgrade of their usual unagi don (which I’ve always liked). 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Served with a side of miso soup, this ought to remain on @shokutsuten’s menu for a longer time!💯
