Unacho Hitsumabushi at Plaza Senayan - Jakarta

So... I had a very late dinner today because I had to help my mom making this kue landak and send them over to my aunt who lives around Hang Lekir area. Since I am craving for unagi and Plaza Senayan is just nearby, I decided to stop by Plaza Senayan and had dinner at Unacho.

Unagi Hitsumabushi Single Layer (185k++)

I am a fan of unagi and I assure you, unagi hitsumabushi at Unacho is super delicious. The eel is very thick and so meaty unlike thin unagi at most Japanese restaurant in Indonesia. The unagi is seasoned beautifully with eel sauce and the taste is not overbearing. Do not let the picture fool you, the portion of Unagi Hitsumabushi at Unacho is literally very big. You are supposed to divide the hisumabushi into four equal portions and eat them four ways (as it is, with broth, condiments, and you can choose one of the previous method as your last method)

Does not look all that small in portion right? The unagi is charred and the caramelization of the sauce gave a hint of but not overbearing sweetness towards the unagi.

Salmon Carpaccio (68k++)

This taste just okay. Maybe I should have listened to my intuition that this restaurant is called Unacho for a reason. I will just order unagi dish on my next visit.

Overall, I really like the unagi, but the Salmon Carpaccio does not do the trick for me. Other than the hitsumabushi, Unacho offers many other unagi dishes and I am definitely coming back for more. Next time I go here, I will order one and a half layer unagi and omit the carpaccio.
Oh I almost forgot these cute little cakes/cookies that I helped making earlier.

Kue Landak

Filled with durian, coconut, and some nuts. I do not like them but I find them cute. Makassar people loves them though. You can usually find them in Makassar Restaurant.
