'eel from the heat

[Taro Toporific]

Wednesday was Doyo-no-Ushi-no-Hi(see the IHT/Asahi: July 22, traditionally the hottest day of the year. Everyone is supposed to eat eels in the belief having live-eels helps that metabolism, accelerates perspiration, make up for the loss of energy and renew strength in the summer heat.
So, I was just sitting around thinking how great to have live eel enema and dinner too .... http://www.stilemedia.com/?v=eels.wmv
Note: If you ain't figured out this eel enema video is not safe for work or for sane people, then you're beyond hope. Also see the old thread Eat our eels. Lift our poles.

On Wednesday, I went to get an eel obento and they were sold out.. I like eel, but can someone tell me what that sauce is they put on eel? It's not quite okonomiyaki, and yet it hints at Hunts BBQ.. I just don't know.

Eel - one of my faves here in Japan - I do prefer Kanto style over Kansai style.

Sauce - not sure but damn is it good!!

I also really like the clear soup served at eel restaurants. Usually has some sort of gizzard thing in there..

One of my fave eel restaurants is in Kabukicho.
