Eel Japanese
The lunch menu at this eel restaurant in Bunkyo is built around the Enma-ju, a lacquer box holding both shirayaki, grilled plain, and kabayaki, glazed and broiled over rice, named for a deity at the temple around the corner. By evening, the kitchen drifts toward France: eel terrine with foie gras, smoked eel alongside Brie. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and a rare place where the pivot from fishmonger to Franco-Japanese eel house actually makes complete sense.
