Two weeks ago I got lost in the city for 3 consecutive daysā¦I donāt clearly recall where I was headed the first time lolā¦The 3rd time was when I was going to the University (19th district) and while inside the University to inquire about translation studies. Ā The second time was when I was looking for a certain Japanese foodshop (1st district) to buy sizzling plates.
I have been in that shop only once, found it by accident then and I promised myself that Iād definitely be backā¦I did after 2 years and going about lost in the streets for an hour. Also, I wasnāt able to buy the sizzling plates since they were out of stockā¦I came home with some of the usual Japanese loot I need like mayonnaise, beni-shouga, wakame, nori, miso paste and tonkatsu sauce. Some rarity that canāt be bought in the Asian store near our place would be Kamaboko slices, Pocky chocosticks, frozen Unagi Ā no kabayakiĀ and a cute hello kitty bentou box. The little girl was surely happy when I gave it to her along with a pair of hoshi.
Ā Ātailā¦
Well, I immediately thawed the eel so we can have it for dinner. I only need to cook rice and make some kabayaki sauce. The sauce is just like that of teriyaki only with less sugar. Given the circumstances, I would love to grill glazed eel Ā too but as Iāve always complained, where we are is far from where the fishes are so Iād just be thankful to that Japanese shop. I would go back as often as I can even if I get lost in the wayā¦

Nakakagutom. I love eel and also buy them ready to eat.
I love Japanese food, not all though, and I havenāt had the guts to eat unagi, is there any noticeable difference taste wise or texture wise from ordinary safe fish like milk fish or say tilapia? Thanks! š
