Approved by Kabuki actors! Steamed eel at Pumpkin Tane in Gion

A miniature beckoning sign with the names of actors gives the restaurant a Gion-like atmosphere, and it is located at the back of a building. The owner, Kazuki Yamada, is a professional who has been involved in eel cuisine for over 50 years. He carefully grills thick, satisfying Japanese eel over binchotan charcoal.

The lunch-only eel bowl set meal is 2,600 yen. Edo yaki eel is steamed to remove excess fat, making it light and fluffy. Includes yuba (bean curd) and liver soup, a small bowl of cooked food, and pickles.

``We steam it after you order it, and then grill it, so you'll have to wait about 20 minutes, but it's especially delicious when it's freshly steamed.'' Just as they say, it has a fluffy texture. Every time it disappears from my mouth, a feeling of happiness fills my heart. The evening menu includes plenty of side dishes such as pumpkin croquettes and nappa greens, and take-out items such as eel ball and bento boxes are also popular.
