So many videos on YouTube introducing Japanese culture, traditions, and foods are available these days. One of my favorites is a video featuring an Australian couple, Phoebe and Ben, who tried grilled Eel ( Unagki-no-Kabayaki in Japanese) while visiting Japan. At first, Phoebe was scared(anxious/apprehensive) when their guide told her she would be eating an eel dinner because eels looked so weird and grotesque to her that she could not imagine putting them into her mouth. Ben also said, "Eel? Those things moving like snakes in the pond near our house? No Australian would want to eat it at all." Thanks to their adventurous spirit to experience our dietary culture, they accepted the challenge and dared come to the restaurant specializing in eel meals. The restaurant's calm and traditional Japanese atmosphere made her look relieved, and the guide encouraged the couple to try the grilled eel flavored with sweet-soy-sauce base gravy, which was topped with steamed rice. And then came my favorite moment in the video. It showed their surprised, wide-opened eyes, proving that Unagi-no-Kabayaki tasted delicious and the foreign visitors were delighted with the dish. I was happy to see Ben rate the meal at nine points out of ten, and Phoebe gave it full marks. It is not so cheap (It is not a cheap dish), costing 20 to 30 dollars per dinner, which comes with tasty soup, pickles, and small Japanese sweets, but it is worth trying, I guarantee.
