anyways, we were supposed to go to a very famous eel restaurant that had a 7 hour lunch queue, but sadly it was a wednesday and the stall closed, so we searched on google for other eel places in nagoya because we couldn’t possibly leave without having an eel meal!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
we read that the queue starts at 11am, so we went early, perhaps a tad bit too early (10.15am) and ended up walking around the area to kill time before having this bowl.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the eel was rather pricey, but i guess it’s just the price range for eel given the nature of this commodity. the menu had different items that consisted of different pieces of eel.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ the eel pieces were crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. we saw that they used white charcoal to grill sticks of eel, which added flavour to it. the rice was soaked in sauce too, which was a bit too sweet. it was a really good eel meal!! conveniently located at nagoya station too. would go back again if i ever go back to the station! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #burpple #nagoya #eel #japan #japanesefood
