Unagi Seiromushi (Steamed Eel)
When you lift the lid, steam rises softly. The eel glistens beautifully atop the sauce-soaked rice, accented by colorful shredded egg. One bite wraps your mouth in pure happiness. The Seiromushi specialty of Yanagawa is said to have been invented by 'Honkichiya,' a long-established shop with a history dating back to 1681. The process involves steaming the seasoned rice, topping it with grilled eel, and steaming it once more. This double-steaming makes the meat fluffy while preserving its savory aroma. It is said to have been created out of a desire to make even eel with tougher skin easy to eat. In 2021, it was recognized as one of the '100 Year Foods' by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. It is a dish you absolutely must try when visiting Yanagawa.
