The restaurant we were asked to photograph was "Unagi Isoya" in Yawatajuku, Chiba Prefecture. The owner, who is now 75 years old, runs the eel restaurant with his daughter, grandchildren, and other family members. In Japan, it is customary to eat eel in the summer to cheer up, and on this day, many customers came to the restaurant and it was full all the time.
The eels are soaked in well water to remove a moderate amount of fat, and then grilled slowly. After that, the eels are further processed carefully.
The eel is then carefully processed and grilled with sauce. The owner's skillful technique makes the eel soft and fluffy, with a slightly crispy texture and a savory aroma. Customers enjoyed each bite as if they were chewing on the deliciousness of the eel.
