Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Nodaiwa in the Higashi Azabu area of Tokyo is a 200 year old restaurant that has focused on various preparations of unagi through five generations of chefs. At its helm today is chef and owner Kanejiro Kanemato, a master of kabayaki (butterflied unagi that is dipped in a sweet sauce and then broiled) who is 90 years old and shows no signs of stopping. Right now I say that Ill stay in the business until Im 100, says Kanemato. But 10 years later I might reach for another 10 years, and so on

That's one thing I admire about Japanese culture, out already from what I've seen on the media and that's ART! It seems like Art comes to play in a lot of thing in Japan, from the way you treat your ingredients to the way an anime is drawn to maximise its video effect on the viewer and the way a black Smith uses his forge. I wish we had that mentality of ART and mastery that happen does

It's a damn shame he had to put shark fin in his eel dish, we ethically have little choice but to scoff at his culture's traditions in these modern times, because now we know better we are burdened by it. Eels are plentiful and meaty, Sharks are not, and I hope his craft can adapt to survive.

One thing that makes me cringe was the shark fin. Actually shark finning appears to be still a thing in japan and that is pityful. They always use everything from the fish but in terms of shark there is a lot of cruelty. Makes me sad. Wouldn't be so hard to use the whole damn fish for the soups. :/

So someone has to be a negative bastard right. That guy is only cooking at 90 because he has no clue what else to do with his life. I respect the effort, but really dudes skills are wasted, just trying to do one thing perfect all his life that will be eaten in 10 min.

ive never wanted eel so much before (every christmas eve my grandmother made eel fried then marinated in vinegar etc )i was never a fan all the adults used to eat it falling off the bone looking back it looks like it was probably delicious

Fun fact: the eel knife hes using is a Tokyo variant and there are four major variants in Japan just to fillet eel. And this Tokyo variation is possibly the source of inspiration of Clouds sword in FF7 (Sephiroths is Tuna knife.

what i personally like about japan is the fact that most of the people like him consider themselves as artisans mastering their craft. so to devote yourself to one thing and perfect it it just amazes me.

some Japanese are purists like this 90yr young man and how elegantly were the meals presented hmm like gift boxes of yumminess great story ty for posting, I'll definitely have to experience this when there

Why is is expensive to dine in at. French cuisine: Use expensive ingredients that are not supposed to be eaten, and charge a lot. Japanese cuisine: Use over decades of training to be a true master chef.
