Anago-zushi (穴子寿司)

Anago-zushi, conger eel on vinegared rice, the house's named dish. The reason we'd come to Yanaka.

New to LocalBite

A Yanaka sushi house of about half a century, built on anago, conger eel; its menu says people came to say anago-zushi means Noike. Once a week the kitchen gives a whole morning to preparing the eel.

The proof, in the house's own words

Why the anago-zushi

Strong evidence
  • Craft

    A whole morning a week set aside for one fish.

    “毎週木曜日は穴子の仕込みのため、17:00~の営業となります”

    The house's own page ↗

  • Tradition

    The same taste since the house began.

    “創業以来、半世紀近く守り続けてきた「味」、「こだわり」がここにあります”

    Menu ↗

  • Local choice

    Anago-zushi became the house's name, it says.

    ““穴子寿司”といえば「乃池」・・・といつしか呼んでいただけるようになりました”

We'd add

Our runner-up

Kanpyō-maki (かんぴょう巻)

Kanpyō-maki, a thin roll of dried gourd strips in seaweed. The old Edo roll to close with.

  • Kept since the founding
