Walking near Akiba and spotting thisintersting little shop.
It's an eel shop. The round bins are full if live eels. You can buy some and take them home to be your pet, or maybe you dinner.
Eel is a popular dish in Japan. Usually people eat them grilled, then coated with a sweet BBQ sauce and served over rice, but you can get eel tempura and eel stew and even eel pie (which actually is more like a cookie).
Have you ever eaten eel before? If you have how was it? If not, would you be willing to try?
and does anyone have an eel pet?
