“The eel rice bowl is tender with a perfectly balanced seasoning”

  • Hitsumabushi (grilled eel rice bowl)BestTender with a perfect flavor balance
  • Grilled eel liverThe perfect snack for a glass of beer
  • Hireyaki (grilled eel fins)Too fishy; the reviewer couldn't eat past one bite

Liked

  • The eel rice bowl itself tastes great
  • Good balance of tenderness and seasoning
  • The grilled eel liver goes great with beer

Downsides

  • The eel is small, so the bones poke the mouth
  • The dashi broth gets tiresome from the second pour
  • The fin skewer tastes fishy
Price
Hitsumabushi ₩40,000
Would return
If visiting just one of Busan's top 3 eel rice bowl places, pick Gook
Tips
  • The first bite with the dashi broth is the best
  • The grilled eel liver is a great beer snack
