Not only that, the price of eel increases 2 or 3 times every year. In the previous article, we found out why Japanese eel is so expensive (See ). This article will delve into the cooking method of Japanese grilled eel (Kabayaki) – one of the reasons why the value of eel is greatly increased. Grilling eel seems to be an easy job, but for Japanese chefs, it takes years of practice. First, the fresh eels will be put on the cutting board by the chef, who will pin the eel’s head in place with a removable metal pin. Eel pecking is a skill that takes 8 years to learn.

The backbone of the eel will also be removed in this step, just learning to peck the eel in these two styles alone will take up to 8 years of apprenticeship! Next is to thread the eel before it is grilled (it takes another 3 years to learn), the cook will have to use metal sharp sticks to pierce the very thin slices of eel meat. This requires dexterity and finesse of the hands. Eel threading is also a skill that takes up to 3 years of apprenticeship.

The griller will have to grill the soft, golden and shiny pieces of eel with the crispy texture that has made the name and attraction in the cuisine of the Kansai region (Osaka) – Japan. To do this, the cook will spread the eel pieces with a little mirin (a rice wine similar to sake, but with a lower alcohol content and higher sugar content). When the grilled eels are done, they are dipped in tare sauce. Grilling eel is a skill that takes a lifetime to perfect.
