Video introduction of how to cook eel at "Kawayo" eel restaurant in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture. The video, taken at Kawatoyo, a Meiji style restaurant situated on the way to the Naritasan (Narita Mountain) Shinshoji Temple in Narita, Chiba, shows how the chefs prepare Japanese eel (Unagi) before cooking them. There is a common saying among eel restaurant chefs that gives some insight into how difficult mastering the techniques behind their job is, it goes: “Three years of skewering, eight years of cutting, and a lifetime of grilling.” In spite of the difficulty of this job, the chefs in the video make it look easy, and even enjoyable. In just two minutes, one can easily understand how skilled the chefs at Kawatoyo are. Be sure to follow along with the video as you read the article! Grilled Eel, Narita’s Specialty Photo：Eels When most people think of Narita they think of eel. And it's no surprise either. With its 60 eel restaurants Naritasan, Omotesando has become a popular attraction for both tourists and food lovers alike, and it is conveniently located just a 15 minute walk from the JR Narita Station. Kawatoyo is a well-established shop in Narita, serving grilled eel since 1910. Crowded even on weekdays, part of its popularity is due to the show offered by its chefs working in front of diners. This can be seen in the video as well The skillful maneuvering of tools and knives done on the restaurant's large wooden cutting board, catches the eyes of many tourists, who are impressed by the fascinating sight. Source :YouTube screenshot These are the steps to prepare the eel. Be sure to follow along with the video: 1. Nailing the eel to the board 2. Cutting it open with a knife 3. Gutting it 4. Boning it 5. Slicing it to proper size Because of how difficult it is to perform this procedure both quickly and accurately, apprentices are usually relegated to applying the skewers. Unlike other fish, eels must be killed just before preparing them as their flesh tends to spoil very quickly: so quickly that the speed at which the preparation work is done ends up influencing the taste of the final product. In addition to that, raw eel blood is toxic, and while cooked preparations are safe to eat, handling and preparing the raw product requires great care on the chefs’ part. Some Final Words on Narita Eel Photo：Eel bowl On a normal weekday, the chefs at Kawatoyo prepare a staggering 400 eels for their customers, and this number doubles to a whopping 800 on weekends and holidays. The taste of the grilled eels you can have in this wooden, old fashioned traditional Japanese shop is simply amazing. There are various eel recipes and serving styles in Japanese cuisine: be it rolls, unagi sushi, eel served in traditional wooden boxes or on top of rice bowls. Did you know that grilled eel cooking methods can vary from region to region in Japan? In the East, Kanto-style eels are sliced open from the back, then steamed and only later grilled, making for a richer, more plump texture, while in the West it is more common to have them Kansai-style, following a method that focuses on fragrance and crispness by grilling the eels on their belly directly over a flame. The best you can do is walk your way through Japan and find the style or unagi sauce you like the most. And don’t forget that eels this delicious can only be prepared by skilled, seasoned professionals: do not try this at home! ◆Kawatoyo Honten◆ 【Address】Nakamachi386, Narita, Chiba, Japan,　286-0027 【Access】 By Train　 11 minutes walking from JR Narita station 11 minutes walking from Keisei Narita station By Car: 8.3 km from Narita International Airport (about 20 minutes) 3 km from Aeon Mall Narita (about 10 minutes) 2.5 km from Mega Don Quixote (about 8 minutes) 【Open】10 am to 5 pm (last order) 【Closures】None (subject to change) 【Parking】None 【TEL】0476-22-2711 【Official Website】kawatoyohonten http://www.unagi-kawatoyo.com/foreign/index.html

By using the latest propellers, water flow is optimized and increases propulsion efficiency. FLEXIE also cuts CO2 emissions by 13.7% by implementing the latest energy-saving technology. FLEXIE can generate power using a solar panel system and use the solar power when the ship is at anchor to cut emissions to ZERO. As you can see from 3:03, FLEXIE uses technologies such as AR and IoT to support steering and adhere to safety regulations.

The Wild Japanese Green Pheasant "A Family of Pheasants" (キジの一家), created by "Nyanta8355," is a video of a family of Japanese green pheasants, the national bird of Japan.

Japanese green pheasants are a familiar species to Japanese people, as they're in the famous Japanese folk tale Momotaro (桃太郎). The video shows footage of them in the wild.

The Japanese Green Pheasants Photo：Japanese green pheasants Japanese green pheasants (Order: Galliformes, Family: Phasianidae, Genus: Phasianus) that you see in the video, are quite common in Japan, and Japanese people are very familiar with them. At the start of the video, we see a male Japanese green pheasant, which has a distinctive red wattle and colorful plumage, then at 1:38, we see a female Japanese green pheasant. As you can tell by the footage, female Japanese green pheasants are not as colorful as male Japanese green pheasants. The Japanese pheasant is the symbolic bird of Japan and has a majestic appearance befitting of the national bird. In many municipalities, the pheasant has been designated as the town bird. As mentioned earlier, the Japanese pheasant is well-known in Japan, as it was one of the characters, along with the dog and monkey, in the Japanese folk tale, Momotaro. You can also see the bird on the front of the old 10,000 yen bill, which is another reason Japanese people are so familiar with the bird. As for the size and shape of the Japanese pheasant, the overall length of the male is about 80 cm and the female is about 60 cm. Male Japanese green pheasants weigh about 0.8 to 1.1 kilograms. Males weigh between 0.8 and 1.1 kilograms and females between 0.6 and 0.9 kilograms. Ring-necked pheasants, which are widely distributed in Eurasia, are slightly larger than Japanese green pheasants. Photo：Japanese green pheasants Male Japanese green pheasants have a red wattle around the eyes, while females have brownish colored plumage. During mating season, the red wattle on a male Japanese green pheasant swells, lets out loud mating calls. Japanese pheasants make loud cries during territorial disputes. Japanese pheasants are also very wary and will often dash away if they are noticed. They also live quietly and are not very active outside of spring, so if you want to observe them, spring is the best time to do so. Japanese green pheasants mainly feed on seeds, sprouts, and leaves. In Japan, many pheasants are released in bird sanctuaries, fallow hunting areas and additive hunting areas. This takes place every year during birdwatching week and before the hunting season. The Various Types of Pheasants Photo：Japanese green pheasants Some people believe that the Japanese pheasant, an endemic species in Japan, is a subspecies of Ring-necked pheasants found in Eurasia, and the Ornithological Society of Japan and others have adopted this theory. Japanese pheasants and ring-necked pheasants are game birds, and pheasant meat is eaten for food. There are four main subspecies of pheasant distributed in Japan: The Kyushuu pheasant (kyushukiji, キュウシュウキジ) is found in southwestern Honshu, Kyushu and the Goto Islands; the northern pheasant (kitakiji, キタキジ) inhabits northern Honshu and Sado Island; the Island pheasant (shimakiji, シマキジ) inhabits Honshu, Tanegashima, Izu Oshima, Yakushima and Niijima; and the Tokai pheasant (toukaikiji,トウカイキジ) is found in central Honshu and Shikoku. Pheasants are mainly found in grasslands, rural areas, forests and flatlands, and sometimes appear in urban areas, causing damage to agriculture and other areas.
