Tamai

Editorial Review

Eel fans should seek out this specialist housed in a small, wooden structure marked with a blue-and-white banner in the back streets of Nihonbashi behind the Takashimaya store. The eel in question is anago, a saltwater variety that's lighter and less sweet than the freshwater (unagi). Choose your preparation - grilled or boiled to a tender pumpness. Served over rice in a lacquer box.
