Tamai, a small shop in the back streets behind Takashimaya, marked with a large blue and white kite-like banner, specializes in anago (salt water eels). The building itself has a lot of history and the interior reflects that with its simplicity. Fans of unagi, the freshwater eel, will also be keen on anago, it is tender and a bit more delicate and fatter as it lived in the cool waters of the ocean. It is served, like unagi, in a lacquer box over hot rice. Select from simmered (soft and tender) or grilled with a sweet sauce. Upgrade your order with a hone chazuke, a small bowl of rice topped with the fried bones of the anago topped with hot tea.
