Eel (Unagi) is rich in protein, vitamins A, D, E and a large amount of high-density lipoprotein, and its nutritional value is the first among fish.

Kaiseki cuisine does not have a fixed menu, will be based on the seasonal ingredients throughout the year to make different dishes, attach importance to the sense of season, and extremely exquisite, whether it is tableware or food placement are very demanding, but the amount of food is very small, eight dishes although each dish is colorful and dazzling, but a set down can only reach 7 or 8 full, so that you will not forget the original intention of listening to Zen in hunger.

Tonkatsu originated in Europe, and after it spread to Japan, it gradually became famous internationally because it was more delicate than European pork chops. The best pork in the Japanese tatsumi comes from Kagoshima black pork, pork chops are more delicately classified for pork parts, usually with soft tenderloin, because its meat is thick, and before frying, the coarse fibers and tendons will be broken, and the pork chops are wrapped in a layer of bran, fried out of the crispy feeling, and will be accompanied by miso soup and chopped vegetables to remove grease.
