Fujiuna, a friendly and casual eel restaurant, is located near Tsukushi Gate of Hakata Station. The master of the restaurant spent several years for training at an traditional eel restaurant established in the Edo period in Okaya, Nagano Prefecture. Fresh Japanese eels are selected and broiled in the kitchen of the restaurant. Fujiuna provides the traditional taste of eel.
The chef who trained at the famous eel nagano
in Nagano prefecture inherits the traditional
technique of "baking", the outside is crispy and
fragrant, the inside finishes plainly.
1.Purchasing
Eels bluish on the belly side are selected. Only about 20% of the eels are bluish. The master of the restaurant, Kondo, says “A trusting relationship with the wholesaler plays a key role in the stable procurement of fresh eels.”
2.Handling
Mud around the eels is washed away. An Edo splitting knife is used for handling the eels. An eel is “butterflied” along the back Kanto (Tokyo)-style. This strengthens the outer side to prevent the eel from crumbling. It broils beautifully.
3.Broiling
Fujiuna’s broiling method is Hakata style. A whole eel on skewers is roasted with high heat without steaming. Rubbing and patting (Konashi) make the eel crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
4.Sauce
A light sweet sauce emphasizes the good taste of the eel, despite its natural oiliness. The special flavor and added sauce become mellow and make the broiled eel perfect.
◆ To maintain quality:
For delicious and safe eel cuisine,
each eel’s color is checked before purchasing.
The color, the size of its liver, and whether bone is left are checked after handling.
Finally, the taste is checked after broiling.
