Eel Rice Bliss at a Japanese Restaurant Near Paris North Station 😭
I found a hidden gem of a Japanese restaurant near Paris North Station, in the 9th district, just a 20-minute walk from the station. It specializes in eel rice, and I was pleasantly surprised! I wanted to share this find with all my friends who love Japanese food. 🍱 Four Ways to Enjoy: 1️⃣ Eaten Plain: The eel is grilled to a slightly crispy exterior, with tender and chewy meat. The sauce is perfectly balanced between sweet and savory, never cloying. 2️⃣ With Wasabi and Green Onion: The inherent spiciness in the rice enhances the freshness of the eel. 3️⃣ As Chazuke (Tea-Poured Rice): Pouring hot sencha tea over the rice softens it and adds a light, refreshing tea aroma, perfect for those who prefer a milder taste. 4️⃣ Ultimate Chazuke with Yuzu Pepper: This combination is the most delightful surprise! The slight spiciness and refreshing aroma of yuzu pepper add incredible depth and complexity to the flavors. It's so good that I even considered buying a jar of yuzu pepper to take home. 🏠 SuMiBi Kaz 💰 €32 per serving, the portion is very generous and filling for one person. 📍 11 rue de Montyon, about a 20-minute walk from the North Station. The storefront is small but easy to find. The atmosphere inside is quiet and serene. If you happen to be catching a train from the North Station or just strolling around the area, this place is worth a visit. While it may not be the most astonishing find, it shines in its thoughtful presentation, fresh eel, and the delightful addition of yuzu pepper. I highly recommend giving it a try. #ParisianFood #JapaneseCuisineInParis #EelRiceInParis #NearParisNorthStation
