Went to visit one of my favourite unagi shops in Japan, then proceeded to take a stroll at the famous Ameyoko, which I've never been before.

edit: oops, made typo in title
If some mod is reading this, would you be so kind and change the name from Amayoko to Ameyoko
thx rage!

Enjoy

I am hosting this on dropbox, hopefully, TL won't drain my bandwidth too quickly like last time.

Shrine outside of the restaurant: Obana

[image loading]

Menu, too small to see here, had to reduce the quality for dropbox.

[image loading]

This is called Uzaku and it was ridiculously delicious. It's grilled unagi with fresh cucumbers soaked in vinegar.

[image loading]

Dipping sauce for the next dish.

[image loading]

This is called Umaki, meaning a unagi (sushi) roll. It's ground grilled unagi inside a Japanese style egg omelet. It's less flavourful than the first appetizer, but I thought it was very creative.

[image loading]

Side dish for the entree.

[image loading]

It came in an lidded box.

Saw a random sign for Taiyaki outside of Obana. Decided to check it out. A taiyaki is a fish-shaped (the fish being called 'tai') pastry filled with sweet red bean paste.

[image loading]

The shop's sign.

Been in business since 1955... You can see my reflection here

The taiyaki.

Random railroads outside of minamisenju. Nothing spectacular, just haven't seen this many railroad tracks for a while.

This thing was actually pretty good. Ameyoko yaki. It's like an okonomi yaki, but smaller.

I would engage super jealous mode, but I'm not too big of a fan of unagi, I can eat it but it gets sickening if I eat too much of it. Probably from the very rich sauce. However, I will engage jealous mode because you're in Japan ;D

How is Unagi dishes in japan prepared? Apart from the already delicious eel? My grandpa used to prepare eel-sandwiches with some lettuce and fresh caught fried eel, damn that was tasty.

I think the most popular unagi dish is unagi-donburi, which is just grilled eel over a bed of plain rice. It's what I had, but you just can't see the rice because the rice was completely covered by the eel

Sounds tasty. I do want to try some okonomiyaki, not a big fan of sushi or sashimi.

Haji! Recommend me places to go in/near Tokyo. I'm interested in trying lots of Japanese food (no kaiseki please) this time around. I prefer specialty shops though, so things like tonkatsu, ramen, tempura and even sushi would be great. Preferably under 10000jpy per person

Mmm...food.
I still haven't tried any taiyaki yet.
I'm jealous.

Great photos and thanks for sharing! I really enjoy reading these first-hand accounts. Hopefully I can do a little traveling after high school.

You're one of the best photographers here in TL!

I like Ameyoko... reminds me of our little markets in the Philippines
If there would be a proleague in the Philippines, we from Ambergris will take it!
