What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was captivated by the unique yanagawa style of preparing unagi, which involves steaming and grilling the eel before serving it over sauce-coated rice. He particularly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the canal boat ride and the rare opportunity to taste the local 'alien fish' both raw and deep-fried. His highlight was the harmony of textures and smoky flavors found in the traditional lacquer box eel meal.
