Foods, trip, shopping... everything for enjoy lifetime. Based in Chiba, Tokyo. Taiwan is neighborhood.

But I visited there some times at lunchtime. Kichiya is anago specialty restaurant. Anago is conger eel. They are in front of Namiyoke Inari Jinja shrine. So, I visited there before dinner.

At first we tasted with drinks. My drink was lemon sour. It’s sour.

Then three tiny bowls were served. Vinegared conger eel, conger eel jelly and conger eel and mozuku seaweed. We took a dinner course (about 5000 yen). Of course, Kichiya serve dishes having conger eel. Everything !

Edamame soup. It had grilled conger eel.

Assorted sashimi. Lean meat of tuna, ark shell, flatfish and squid.

Conger eel sashimi. Three styles of conger eel sashimi. Arai (washed), Yubiki (exposed in warm water quickly) and Konbu jime (sandwiched with konbu seaweed for a while). Conger eels’ sashimi is rarely eaten because it gets old quickly. So, it’s precious opportunity !

Minced conger eel ball.

Densuke Anago conger eel. Salted grilled conger eel, grilled conger eel with yolk sauce and its liver. “Densuke Anago” is a kind of conger eel and it’s precious kind. It’s huger than another conger eel. This was the first time to eat Densuke Anago.

Conger eel tempura. It was so crisp. And Conger eel in its inside was soft 🙂

Conger eel Uzaku-style salad. Uzaku originally means cucumber and eel.

The last dish. Conger eel bakashi. Bakashi means “deceive”. It looks like eel box (unajyu). But it’s not eel, but conger eel. Eel is more fatty than conger eel. So, this conger eel box had refreshing tastes than eel box. But its meat was soft and tasty 🙂 I managed to eat it up. But I was full !

Dessert. Yuzu sorbet. It had refreshing tastes ! The flavor of yuzu was awesome.

Reservation is required in advance if you want to have dinner course, but you can enter the restaurant without reservation if you want to have simple dinner like bakashi. But sometime they have full reservation, so, you’d better ask in advance if you visit there from distant area.
