🍴Foodie Report: Nyorosuke Ginza🍴

Posted on by sonokotchi

I enjoyed Kanto Style Hitsumabushi.

Hitsumabushi is one of Unagi (eel) dishes and it’s originated from Nagoya.

Enjoying eel in three ways: 1) eating dry as it is, 2) eating with condiments and 3) eating with condiments and soup as you wish.

I enjoyed it very much because eel is prepared in Kanto Style.

Kanto Style (Tokyo area style) is more flavored or more soy sauce or salty.

I enjoyed it with soup and eel still has thick grilled soy sauce flavor🍴

This restaurant is recommended for eel lovers❣️

Fugu Ryori UMEI (Blowfish Cuisine UMEI)

Posted on by sonokotchi

I enjoyed 14 ways of different preparations of blowfish in a night.

Raw, Grilled, Deep-fried, Boiled, Cooked, you name it or see it.

I also enjoyed cold Japanese sake from Fukushima “Hirotogawa” and Nagano “Sawa no Hana”

AND Hire Zake (Sake with Roasted Blowfish Fin)!

Usually, a cup is simply served; however, at UMEI, serving a Hire Zake was the performance and I enjoyed it.

In addition, blowfish is usually tastes simple and thin; however, this time, blowfish was so meaty.

I was told that a Tora Fugu (Tiger Pufferfish) can be a large as 3 – 4 kg.

OMG, it’s a double size of my Chocolate (my doggy)!

He weights only 2 kg!

Choco is smaller than a Tora Fugu!

Obviously, I enjoyed too much of Fugu (Blowfish) at once and could not finish all such as Takekomi Gohan (Cooked Rice).

They made Onigiri (Rice Ball) for us and brought it back for lunch for the next day. hahaha
