Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan｜Kikuya

The fluffy eel is so delicious! The photo is of an eel priced at 4,200 yen!

Visit in late May 2023 The menu consisted of eel, snacks (liver tsukudani, turban shell, etc.), and drinks. You can eat eel for around 2,300 yen to 4,000 yen. I got the second one from the top, priced at 3,000 yen, and it was just big enough to cover the rice. The eel meat was plump and the sauce was light and not too sweet for my taste. It's really delicious. The scent of Japanese pepper stands out and gives it a tangy, happy smell. The first bite is without sansho pepper, the second bite is with sansho pepper. . Irresistibly delicious. Each type of pickle has its own distinct flavor. . Pickled in rice bran, pickled in narazuke, pickled in pickled vegetables. You can get a glass of sake with just this. . Liver sucking is delicious and aromatic, and every time I eat it in between unagiju, my tongue resets and I can eat as many unagiju as I want. danger. Liver Tsukudani: Serve with beer before the eel arrives. . I asked, but this is sake. . Although the ginger has a strong effect, the rich texture of the liver definitely goes better with sake! Thanks to that, I ended up having sake as a beer chaser. For better or worse, the store had an old appearance and was a bit scary from the outside, so it took me 10 years to get up the courage to go inside. . However, the inside feels very nostalgic...except for the TV, it looks like it has been there since the Showa era. . The landlady may seem curt to some people, but it's not a problem because she does what's needed and as much as it's needed. An eel restaurant doesn't need the customer service of a luxury hotel. When I paid, I said, ``It was very delicious, I'll definitely come again!'' and she smiled back and said ``Thank you,'' so it was more than enough for me. Oh, the floor is dirt, so it might be cold in winter. Please be careful.

Unaju, which weighs about 145g of eel, was 2,900 yen. The eel was plump, the sauce had a strong flavor, and the liver soup was flavored with ginger, so it was very delicious! The restroom was located at the back of the store, and it felt like it had been renovated and became Western-style. The rest of the interior was reminiscent of the Showa era and felt nostalgic. I would like to visit you again.
