Yoshinoya and Sukiya start selling eel dishes
May 28th, 2009 by James
Two of Japan’s biggest rice bowl fast food chains have begun to sell seasonal eel dishes:
Sukiya will be selling a half-gyudon/half-unadon dish, while Yoshinoya is selling pure unadon. Both are importing cheap eel from China, and both are emphasizing the safety of the imported eel.
The report ends a look at an eel restaurant in Tokyo that uses only domestic eel in its dishes. Customers claim that Japanese eel tastes better, but the chef notes that he cannot be entirely sure the eel is actually Japanese, since suppliers have been known to lie about the origins of imported food.

Maybe the slippery eel will help the salarymen eat it even faster.

Holy crap, the gyuu-unadon “両方食べたい～！” dish is awesome. It’s a large amount of food for under 500 yen. It was my favorite when I was studying in Japan, last year. I recommend it with kimchi.

I’ve tried to convince my wife to go for the Chinese-imported unagi in the grocery store because they’re half the cost of the domestic variety, but she won’t budge. It’s like she thinks it’s guaranteed to be poisonous.
