🐟 Eel from Japan’s last pristine river. The Shimanto River is famous for its crystal-clear waters, and one of its greatest treasures is wild-caught eel. Using a traditional longline fishing method, local fishermen work with the river’s natural flow, just as generations before them have done. In Kochi, the eel is often grilled directly over charcoal in the Kansai style, creating crispy skin, a smoky aroma, and a rich flavor that reflects the purity of the river itself. 🐟 來自「日本最後清流」的天然鰻魚。 四萬十川以清澈的河水聞名，而生活在這條河中的天然鰻魚，更是當地珍貴的美味之一。 漁民至今仍使用傳統延繩漁法，在平靜的河流中耐心等待鰻魚上鉤，延續著世代相傳的捕撈方式。 在高知，人們多以關西風炭烤料理鰻魚，不經蒸製直接燒烤，讓外皮更加香脆，保留扎實的口感與濃郁風味。 #AnotherSideofJapan #visitjapanjp #ShimantoRiver #Unagi #JapaneseFood #KochiJapan #JapanTravel #四萬十川 #天然鰻魚 #鰻魚 #高知 #日本美食
