¿Qué es Tokyo?: Tokyo’s dining scene brings together classic washoku techniques and global flavors across an ever-changing metropolis. From Edomae-style sushi, soba, tempura, and grilled eel to contemporary tasting menus and casual counter dining, the range of experiences is broad. Markets, food halls, and yokocho alleyways create a rhythm that shifts from early-morning bustle to late-night snacks, while department-store depachika showcase seasonal bento, sweets, and prepared dishes. Many chefs highlight ingredients drawn from surrounding seas and mountains, and diners encounter everything from quick stand-and-eat shops to intimate chef-led courses. A hallmark of local history is the Edo-era street food culture that helped shape Tokyo’s preference for skillful, efficient service and clear flavors, an influence still felt in today’s ramen shops, tempura counters, and sushi bars. Pop-ups and limited-time menus appear across districts, reflecting a spirit of experimentation that complements time-honored craft.
¿Qué es Eel?: Eel-focused restaurants highlight the pleasure of slow grilling over charcoal, where glossy tare lends a gentle sweetness and sheen while the skin turns lightly crisp and the flesh stays tender. Many menus feature kabayaki alongside salt-grilled fillets, and some kitchens employ a steam-then-grill method to emphasize a delicate texture. Bowls and lacquered boxes of eel over rice are common, as are regional styles that invite multiple ways to eat in one sitting. Diners may encounter white-grilled cuts seasoned simply, omelets rolled around eel, or a clear broth made with the liver. The counter often showcases the sizzle and aroma from the grill, shaping a dining experience that balances smoke, sauce, and craftsmanship. Attention to butchery, skewering, and precise heat control is central to the appeal, with small side dishes and pickles rounding out a meal that favors nuance and measured richness.

If you enjoy the bones, liver, and head
Then you can compare the soft and fluffy meat
and compare the natural and farm-raised
Because it is precious and natural eel

It also makes you feel precious, doesn't it? LOL!
It is said to have been created over many years.
The golden liver salt.
In addition to bitterness and saltiness
to the ultimate seasoning with depth.
Goes well with the fish Masa no Shiroyaki!
If you drink sake with this liver salt as a side dish
I bet you can't resist drinking sake
I'm sure I'd be irresistible,
I don't drink sake because of the sugar content. LOL!
The meat also has more flavor in the fat
The fat has more flavor.
The times are moving on,
I wonder if the time will come when farmed brands will be better

Delicious farmed Bando Taro.
More than the flavor of the sauce

Un restaurante de anguila con 150 años de historia y tradición
Ginza Yondai Takahashiya Ginza-ten es la sucursal en Ginza de un restaurante de anguila con 150 años de historia, cuyo establecimiento principal se encuentra en Saitama. El interior del restaurante es un espacio de alta calidad que se asemeja a un pequeño museo, donde se puede disfrutar de la cocina de anguila al estilo de Kanto, elaborada con anguila azul de alta calidad. Las técnicas delicadas de la cocina japonesa, aplicadas por el chef, se reflejan en los platos de anguila, ofreciendo exquisiteces que realzan su rica fragancia y sabor.
The cozy interior has seating on the second floor as well, but when I arrived around 6 PM, it was already bustling with many customers. I ordered the unaju (grilled eel over rice) and the recommended shio hitsumabushi (salted grilled eel over rice) from the owner. The large, fluffy eel highlighted its natural umami rather than the flavor of the sauce, making it a refined delicacy. The shio hitsumabushi was light and mild, and I enjoyed changing the flavor with condiments like wasabi, shiso leaves, and yuzu peel. The smoked ham served as an appetizer was a unique dish wrapped in eel skin and ham, lightly smoked and delicious.
A friend of mine who lives in Sendai recommended this place to me for a drink. As I had heard, all the dishes were inexpensive and delicious. I ordered the Ishiyaki Ojiya (rice topped with grilled stones) as a topping, and it was very tasty. It was served in a hot stone pot and consisted of a very simple dish of soup stock, egg, seaweed, and rice, but the umami of the soup stock and the gentle taste of the egg made it very delicious.

The quality of the eel is good, and above all, the grilling method is exquisite! The inside is fluffy and seems to melt, while the skin is crispy and fragrant, making it feel like I could eat as much as I want. Being able to enjoy freshly ground Sichuan pepper enhances the aroma and adds a nice spiciness, which is delightful.

Eel Jyu
The first appearance of the true winner.
The flavor of the eel, which is cooked half a day in advance of your arrival, and the sauce that supports the flavor of the eel, are woven together to create a delicious taste. Of course, the rice is also delicious.
The balance of the taste is similar to that of my favorite eel restaurant, which recently closed.
I guess some people will like it.

【Tokyo Kasuga】
A skilled eel restaurant that has won the Michelin Bib Gourmand for 8 consecutive years.
A la carte
◇ Sashimi platter of 3 types
◇ Umaki (eel rolled omelette)
The well-seasoned eel is wrapped in fluffy dashi omelette, making both the texture and flavor delicious.
◇ Enma Jyu with liver soup
A luxurious and voluminous (360g) top-quality eel rice bowl with two pieces of eel, one grilled and one simply grilled. I particularly enjoyed dipping the grilled eel in salt and wasabi.
Halfway through, I was able to enjoy some dashi, adding nori & white sesame and sudachi & chopped green onions for a flavorful change to my ochazuke (rice in tea). It was so delicious that I finished it in no time despite the generous portion.
There are also menu items that can only be eaten with a pre-reserved course, so I was torn between the course and a la carte, but since the Enma Jyu can only be ordered a la carte, it was definitely the right choice this time.
It's very popular, so advance reservations are essential! Thank you for the meal.
