In Japan, sushi is a very popular national cuisine. Globally, it has even become synonymous with the entire country of Japan.
After many foreigners come to Japan, in addition to immediately heading to Shinjuku Kabukicho to visit the local folk customs, the second thing to do is to sit down and enjoy the delicious Japanese sushi.
Don't think sushi is a sky-high haute cuisine? With the exception of some sushi restaurants that have been designated as high-end cuisine by Michelin, ordinary Japanese sushi cuisine is actually equivalent to the status of green pepper meat shreds in the Chinese catering industry for Japanese nationals.
The price is close to the people, the taste is delicious, and it can be eaten, which is really a three-for-one. You know, in Japan, a country where the pursuit of quality is greater than the pursuit of quantity, everyone is satisfied with 70% of the food.
For a foreigner, especially a Chinese from the foodie country of China, it is a very happy thing to be able to eat a full meal in Japan.
The ingredients for sushi are varied. Almost in Japanese, most creatures represented by kanji next to the fish character can be used as raw materials for sushi. One of the most famous raw materials is Japan's millennium net red tuna.
At sushi restaurants, tuna is seen as often as pork is seen in Chinese restaurants.

Very good ingredients in every part
According to statistics, Japan consumes about 400,000 tons of tuna every year. This proportion accounts for almost 20% to 25% of total global tuna consumption.
The reason why tuna has such a high consumption, good taste is one factor, and another big factor is that it is cheap.
In Japanese sushi restaurants, the unit of sushi is "guan", and the price of sushi with "kan" tuna is 99 yen, and the medium one is only about 200 yen. For the student party and the small clerks who have to frown every month to ask their wives for pocket money, they can eat for a small amount of money, and tuna sushi meets their minimum survival needs.
However, if you are a qualified foodie, tuna should not satisfy your taste buds at all. After all, eating a meal also has a chain of contempt. In order not to be at the bottom of the chain of contempt, in order not to be despised by teammates in the same industry, it is better to choose more advanced ingredients as much as possible.

Chiellini is quite chewy
For Suarez in Uruguay, Chiellini in Italy is the best ingredient. So, in the world of seafood, how do we choose the more delicious ingredients?
Looking through Japan's major food strategies, you will often see another Internet celebrity sister in the Japanese restaurant industry: eel.
Most of the eels on the raiders are presented in the form of eel rice bowls. Raw eels are rarely seen in Japan, or rarely seen. The reason is that the unconditioned slow fish has an extremely strong fishy taste, and it is not so much a delicacy to eat raw eels as to eat raw eels as a pain and suffering.
After the eels are grilled, most of the fishy smell can be removed. After being heated by a fierce fire, its flesh becomes extremely tender and melts in the mouth, and the slightly charred aroma and sauce are the perfect combination of sight and taste.
Eel dishes are mainly found in specialized eel restaurants. However, many students will find that after entering the rotary sushi restaurant, there will also be a sushi similar to grilled eel on the menu. At first glance, you'll think it's a slow fish with great certainty. However, the eel has a cousin, called anago in Japanese, and you should also know about it.

In fact, whether it is eels or burrows, they also belong to the biological eel order. But they belong to two completely different families under the order Eels. Therefore, although they have a very similar appearance, they are very different in terms of meat composition and the minerals and fats they contain.
Judging from their circle of life, the cavemen have lived in the ocean all their lives, and they have never been to the sea in their lives, nor have they seen the outside world.
Eels are different. Although eels live in the sea during spawning, after spawning, they gradually migrate to freshwater rivers and lakes. When they are old, they finally think of the fallen leaves and return to the roots, and gradually return to the seawater from the freshwater area. It can be said that eels have tasted the saltiness of the water in this life.
From the physical point of view, the holes that have grown up in the sea since childhood appear more lean. In contrast, the slow fish's physique is more oily and plump.
Comparing 100 grams of eel meat with 100 grams of cave meat, the calorie of eels reaches 256 Kcal, while the calorie of the cave is only 160 Kcal. At the same time, the eel contains about 19 grams of fat, and the fat content of the cave is only half of it, about 9 grams.
Therefore, from the perspective of physical composition alone, the same weight of the hole contains lower calories and fat. So, you who are inspired not to lose ten pounds and do not change your head, are you gradually moved by this cousin of the eel?
Unfortunately, no matter how healthy the flesh is, it cannot be exchanged for the fair treatment of society. In terms of market price, the same weight of eels and burrows, the former of which is more than twice the price of the latter. Perhaps the ecological circle of eels is still in the Tang Dynasty period where fat is beautiful.

In terms of looks, if you are not a master of eating eels and caves all year round, it is really difficult to distinguish at a glance which is an eel and which is a cave.
Just like the extremely hotly talked about "how to distinguish between Wang Luodan and Bai Baihe", eels and caves also make people suddenly feel that they are suffering from face blindness, there is no cure, and they are momentarily desperate.
Indeed, on this long scientific road of distinguishing between eels and burrows, many people have lost their way.
To distinguish what Wang Luodan and Bai Baihe are, the eels and the caves should be understood.
