The eel served here is freshly caught and prepared every morning.
The grilling technique has been brought directly from Japan to Taiwan.
All the dishes are hand-prepared by Japanese chefs.
The eel is first grilled until white, then steamed.
Finally, it is glazed with sauce and grilled again.
This intricate cooking method helps remove excess fat.
It is touted as “fluffy Edogawa-style grilled eel.”
That’s what makes it so light and delicious.
