blodeueddI may have said this before, but I love my new camera. Whole-heartedly, passionately love it. <3
A couple of weeks ago, I looked up one morning on the way to work, and spring had come!
On the 30th of January, I met up with Jill and Andrea in Shinagawa for some karaoke. Everything seemed normal until I went to the washroom (for the second time) and noticed the warning on the door.
After singing our little hearts out, I met up with some fellow food-lovers near Omotesandou and hit up a restaurant that specialises in eel.
Thefood critics eaters of eel:
We all had the seven course set menu, which featured pretty much every edible part of the eel. First up, eel bone crackers! These were crunchy and salty and delicious.
(Horrible framing job on this one, but Eda's expression was just too funny. ^_^)
Next we were served two skewers (courses 2 and 3). One was eel liver, which had a surprisingly strong taste, nearly as strong as beef liver; the other was eel skin wrapped around sliced scallions. I preferred the skin.
Course #4 was eel wrapped in a fluffy egg blanket, accompanied by a pickled ginger shoot, and a decorative leaf which Emily did not eat. Good stuff!
This lil' guy came with wasabi, and was very, very yummy.
The sixth course was a few bites of eel with impressively sliced cucumbers in a very mild vinegar sauce.
Last but not least, tender, buttery grilled eel. God, it was good.
Warning: Eating eel may cause silliness. And plaid legs.
We are awesome, and we pay with exact change.
While the eel was certainly very tasty, we weren't quite full, so we headed off in search of dessert in Harajuku. And what do you eat in Harajuku?
Emily's first crepe in Japan!
Eda being pervy.
Apparently, the moon that night was the brightest it would be all year.
