Tender and juicy eel is a must-have food for Japanese people in summer. In recent years, it has also been sought after by many Chinese gourmets. Eel is delicious, but the current situation of the eel is critical.
It can be called Japanese fast food that can be eaten easily and quickly in a busy situation. Among them, "eel rice bowl", which has been passed down since the Edo period to this day, can be said to be the pioneer of Japanese fast food. Eel has been regarded as a high-priced food since the Edo period. This eel specialty store has quite expensive prices.
Dish history:
Japanese people have a preference to cover white rice with side dishes to make a rice bowl. In addition to "eel rice bowl", there are also "tempura rice bowl", "pork cutlet rice bowl", "beef rice bowl" and so on.
However, due to the increase in imported artificially cultured eels, it has become relatively cheap to buy and taste it in ordinary supermarkets. Throughout the year, eels can be found everywhere regardless of the season.
