Unagi!

SARAP! This was one good unagi, the "tare" (sauce) and "sansho" were also top-rate!
The unagi season is at it's end though.
Next on the menu for autumn, is sanma,
which is usually grilled.

There is this place I frequently go to for lunch, the menu has 6 all-year-round dishes:
(rice set includes a bowl of miso shiro, tsukemono (Japanese pickles), all you can eat "tarako" (cod roe), more tsukemono and "moyashi" - that's "toge" for us, Pinoys)
a. Grilled salmon and rice set - my fave
b .Grilled "hoke" (Atka mackarel, popular in Hokkaido)
and rice set
c .Grilled "saba" (mackarel) and rice set
d. Saba in miso and rice set
e. Maguro-don - sashimi natto rice topping
f. Maguro-natto and rice set - another favorite,
it's served with 1 fresh egg that you break and stir then pour
a bit on your steaming rice, then you stir your
maguro (raw chunks of tuna) and natto with tare and
a dash of wasabi and put a dollop of it on your rice,
then... the challenge is to eat this with chopsticks!
Ittadakimasu!
