The "surprising drink" found at a long-established eel restaurant in Nihonbashi

Edo kid loves eel. In the past, a lot of fine eels were caught on the Onagi River on the opposite bank of the Sumida River from Hamacho, Chuo-ku. Kawayanagi called "Tabi eel, Edo water soaked in makeup". The eel brought from a different place was immersed in Okawa (Sumida River) and Onagi River, and dressed as a good item from Fukagawa.

There is a theory that Unadon spread because the inventor of Unadon was the head of a playhouse in Nihonbashi Ningyocho, and it was sold to Onoya in the town. In Unadon, a person named Imasuke Okubo asked for an eel kabayaki and bowl rice when waiting for a ferry in Ushikunuma, Ibaraki, is difficult to come out. When I'm going to eat from now on, "The ship will come out." It is said that if you put a dish with a kabayaki on the bowl rice upside down and eat it later, it was very delicious (Tatsugasaki City Tourism and Local Products Association).

Among the "Eel 100 Selections", the activities of eel shops in Chuo-ku are conspicuous.

The member, Kiyokawa (Nihonbashikoamicho), introduced this time, has been a long-established store that preserves the taste of the old days since its opening in 1874, using the sauce.

The Sukiya style shop, built in 1927, is a registered tangible cultural property. In the evening, when the lights are turned on, a very good atmosphere is created. Please pass through the noren to the world of Showa.

The eel's body is so plump that it can be cut just by picking it with chopsticks. Some areas prefer crisp skin, but I like this plump feeling.

Cola containing eel extract

The "surprising drink" found at a long-established eel shop in Cola Nihonbashi with eel extract.

On the way home, I saw "Eel Cola". When asked the landlady about the taste, he replied, "It contains eel extract." 660 yen per bottle. I usually pass through, but I can't feel high for those who are eating eels and soaked in happiness.

It is tasteful, but it seems good to drink while waiting for eels to come out at the shop or after eating plump eels.
