363 Kojiro quit his job (1/2)
”I'm Kojiro, I brought you eel dishes.”
After waiting for a while, Kojiro came. Apparently he brought eel dishes.
”Get in”
”excuse me”
When I allowed the room, Kojiro and three booth clerks came in.
There is a tray in the hand of the booth occupant, and each has a bowl of rice.
It smells faintly fragrant.
What is this scent that stimulates the asexual stomach? Is it a soy sauce seasoning? I feel a little sweetness in the fragrance.
The source of the scent is definitely that bowl.
If you haven't opened the lid yet, the smell is like this ... I was afraid what would happen if I opened the lid.
To be honest, I heard that the dish was made with eels, and I didn't expect it, but this might be surprising.
”Well, I guess it was deeply seasoned to deceive the eel of the eel.”
”You can tell it by eating it.”
Kojiro plays the expression of Kinukasa like disgust with a generous expression.
Looking at Kojiro's unchanging attitude, Kinugasa snapped his nose somehow uninteresting.
The person talked about the taste of the eel, but is he so confident?
The fragrance and attitude of Kojiro and good expectations increase.
When the booth lays a tatami mat in front of us, he puts a bowl of rice there.
When the booth glanced, Kojiro opened his mouth.
”This is an eel dish I learned from my friend-Unadon”
The bowl lid was opened with Kojiro's confident voice.
Warm steam rises and explosive aroma spreads indoors.
”What !? What is this fragrant smell ...?!”
Smell that is incomparable with the previous one.
Just smelling it, the stimulus was transmitted from the brain and the stomach, and the stomach rang as if howling.
Don is rice that is a familiar staple of Kagura people. On top of that was a flat fish-like fillet, which seemed to be a soy sauce-based sauce.
”Is this flat thing eel?”
Sakuraka asks the question I was thinking.
This brown, brown-colored fish ... is it really an eel?
”Yes, we handled eels.”
”I like that slimy fish, and it was cut flat like this.”
As Sakuraka says, eels are slim and very hard to cut.
To be able to handle it very easily means that even those who do not cook can understand how difficult the technique is.
”By putting in hot water just before boiling, the eel can smell with the slime. Of course, I practiced ...”
Kojiro shows his words in a calm manner.
”Is that the teaching of a friend or something?”
”Yes, I can't even reach his feet yet.”
Hmm, don't worry about your friend who taught Kojiro how to cook eels. Are you a well-known cook, knowing reasonable recipes?
”Then, please, before it cools down.”
”U, um”
Inspired by Kojiro, I stop thinking and concentrate on the dish in front of me.
Take the chopsticks and bowl and pick up the eels.
Eel that smells like grilled or burned, and has many bones. Sauce looks really delicious, but what is the point here?
Yeah, Kojiro showed the man and cooked it. It would be rude to hesitate to come here.
I take the eel to my mouth.
”Yea soft”
When you bite it, the outside is crisp and the inside is soft.
”I can't feel the smell of it.”
I was surprised at the cherry blossoms that I also spoke, and opened my eyes.
Yes, this eel dish is very different from the fishy, hard eel dishes we have eaten in the past. There is no fishy odor or hardness and almost no small bones.
The more you bite, the more eel fat comes out and you can feel the original taste of the eel.
And above all, the compatibility with this sauce is wonderful. I've been eating a lot of grilled fish, but this is the first time I can feel so powerful and delicious.
”Sure, it's a medium eel dish, but to this extent-”
Kinugasa puts the bowl and says, Kojiro slowly puts his hand forward.
”No, the taste of Unadon is not such a thing. It is only completed by eating meat and rice at the same time.”
”at the same time?”
”Yes, please scratch it with rice.”
Kojiro says, Kinushisa eats eel and rice in a calm manner.
”U, delicious--”
Kinukasa hurries up and closes her mouth, but it's too late.
Looking at Kinashika's surprised expression, Kojiro laughed with a relaxed face.
What kind of taste is that you don't have a good feeling for Kojiro and make the dry and reputed Kinugasa growl involuntarily?
As Kojiro says, eat eel with rice.
At that moment, it seemed that an electric shock ran on my body.
――Rice is not enough.
I put the rice in my mouth as if I was scratching it.
In addition, the spicy sauce is soaked in the rice and it is the best.
Savory and fatty eel and sweet and spicy sauce. They went brilliantly with the rice.
no doubt. This dish is sublimated by scraping it with rice.
This is the essence of una bowl.
While I was crazy and eating, I realized that the inside of the bowl was empty.
Sorry for that and put the rice bowl on the bed.
He suddenly stared at the other two and was eating faster than I did.
”If eels were eaten with the right recipe, were they so delicious fish?”
What a natural thing that you did not notice this and did not eat eel.
”Rather than deceive it with the flavor of the sauce, it was processed properly and brought out the eel's deliciousness.”
”No, my roasted eels are still far from my friend's roasted eels, and this sauce was also given by my friend for research ...”
Kojiro humbles out a small vase from her pocket, despite Sakuraka praising her.
While it can be said that this is delicious enough, is there still a way forward?
