Because the eels are freshly killed, you have to wait for more than 30 minutes after placing an order. Even so, it doesn't affect diners' preference for buckwheat live eel dishes. The eel rice is a popular recommendation, and the whole eel is covered in red and black lacquered wooden boxes in three or four sections, and even if it is not the first time you eat it, it still brings a sense of surprise when you open the lid.
