Approved by Kabuki actors! Steamed eel at Pumpkin Tane in Gion

A well-known restaurant at the back of a building that has a typical Gion atmosphere, with mini invitations with the actors' names written on them. The owner, Kazuyoshi Yamada, is a professional who has been involved in cooking eel for 47 years, including his time as an apprentice. The meaty domestic eel is deliciously meaty and carefully grilled over Bincho charcoal.

Lunch-only eel bowl set meal for 2,420 yen. Steaming removes excess fat, making Edo-yaki eel light and fluffy. Comes with yuba and liver soup, small bowl, and pickled vegetables

``We steam it after you order it, and then grill it, so you'll have to wait about 20 minutes, but it's especially delicious when it's freshly steamed.'' Just as they say, it has a fluffy texture. Every time it disappears from my mouth, a feeling of happiness fills my heart. The evening menu includes plenty of side dishes such as pumpkin croquettes and nappa greens, and take-out items such as eel ball and bento boxes are also popular.
