Beat the heat with eels

Rather than a cooling glass of ice tea, in Japan it is traditional to refresh during the hot summer months by eating freshwater eel, known in Japanese as unagi. Particularly on the Day of the Ox, which this year falls on July 29, people in the Land of the Rising Sun will devour a portion of grilled eel to keep their nutrients up.

I by Inagiku are offering up this delicious delicacy in the traditional grilled style, deep fried or as teppanyaki, providing a range of flavors and texture – and let’s not forget about the ever-popular sushi option! Grab a mouthful of culture served with seasonal ingredients in a kaiseki set during both lunch (RMB380) and dinner (RMB680), or head in during the evening to order it a la carte.
