From my point of view  🙂

It is the Japanese way of eating Unagi which is grilled with “Teriyaki” taste.  Actually, “Kabayaki” taste is the right way of saying in Japanese language but the taste is the same.  Only the process of cooking is a bit different.  Since “Teriyaki” taste is recognized well around the world, I use “Teriyaki” instead of “Kabayaki” for your understandings.

As you may noticed, there are some seasonings are served with the Unagi bowl.  You can put them all or one or two.  It is your choice.  After you get boring the taste, then you can pour the soup over your bowl.  My recommendation is ” Wasabi” on top.  I believe it is the must seasoning to enhance the taste of the “Unagi” to the maximum!!

Well, the price of Unagi is getting higher and higher so it is very rare for Japanese people to eat Unagi nowadays even buying from the grocery stores.  However, “Kyomaru Unagi” is the splended restraunt!!  The price is very gentle to the customers always.  Also, I think it is the very fantastic idea that the “Yokozuna” is on the menu.

The location is a bit far from Tokyo but the “Yokozuna” at “Kyomaru Unagi” is strongly recommended!!

Thank you for reading my report.  🙂
